The Forschungsinstitut Betriebliche Bildung (f-bb) gGmbH, the Research Institute for Vocational Training, is a non-profit limited liability partnership. The f-bb is concerned with a wide portfolio of research and development projects on vocational education and training at regional, national and international level.

The tasks carried out by the f-bb include alongside basic research and model tests on vocational education and training, the design of case studies, the conduct of empirical surveys as well as the evaluation and scientific coaching of projects. Primary research interests are focussed on the relationship of new forms of work organisations, VET and new media and methods. About 60 research scientists are currently working in the f-bb.
