The press release from the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs, Health, and Equality explains that continuing education content ranges from short-term programs to multi-year continuing education courses and can be tailored to specific continuing education needs. For example, language courses, commercial and industrial-technical training programs, as well as continuing education programs supporting digital and ecological transformation, human resources and organizational development, or workplace co-determination can be funded.
Labor Minister Petra Grimm-Benne said: “Vocational training is no longer sufficient to cover an entire working life. Continuing education is essential for responding to changes in the world of work. Every cent of our funding for continuing education is therefore an investment in the future viability of our state. We are giving employees and companies the opportunity to improve their qualifications and respond to the increasing demands of working life. Only with bright minds can we take another step forward in the competition for skilled workers.”
