Researchers who deal with issues relating to the acquisition and utilization of professional knowledge and skills can now analyze research data from the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB) using controlled remote computing, i.e. without having to visit the BIBB premises. This is made possible by JoSuA (Job Submission Application), a software developed at IZA’s research data center (IDSC).

Empirical economic and social research relies to a large extent on datasets that are subject to strict data protection and data security requirements. Working with such data is often only possible using secure guest workstations at the location of the data provider. This time-consuming process has been made even more difficult by travel and contact restrictions due to the pandemic.

At the same time, the COVID-19 crisis has accelerated structural changes in the labor market, which call for more research in the field of vocational education and training. The implementation of JoSuA now enables the BIBB, whose data is particularly relevant for research in this field, to accommodate this growing demand.

JoSuA is a flexible instrument for data analysis that can be adapted to the data security regulations of the respective data provider and is easily scalable. Making this service now also available at the BIBB (free of charge for scientific research purposes) will further strengthen the evaluation of research data for labor market and vocational research, particularly on education and training.
