Focus on in-company training staff - CLOU final conference

The potentials and challenges of the qualification of in-company training personnel brought together around 80 representatives from research and business at the Deutsches Hygiene-Museum Dresden on February 7, 2024. The aim was to exchange views on current measures and research approaches and results for the (further) qualification of in-company training personnel and to discuss their opportunities. The results of the two InnoVET sub-projects, which are based at TU Dresden, were particularly in the foreground.

After the official welcome by the sub-project leaders, the conference opened with two exciting perspectives from politics and science in keynote speeches:

Prof. Dr. Ertl (Research Director and Permanent Representative of the President, BIBB) addressed the demands of socio-economic transformation on innovation in vocational education and training in his presentation and described in detail the role of innovation in vocational education and training using the example of InnoVET.

In his keynote speech, Prof. Dr. Käpplinger (Chair of Continuing Education, Justus Liebig University Giessen) addressed the (new) challenges that company training staff may face and how these can be tackled.

In a total of five workshops, the discussions on company (further) qualifications could then be deepened. The two TUD sub-projects and other partners from the InnoVET network presented needs-based concepts and existing qualification offers for in-company training personnel for discussion. The different perspectives from practice, business and science enabled an exciting and targeted discussion of the approaches and results.

In the concluding panel discussion, moderated by Prof. Dr. Tenberg and Dr. Jaekel (both Technology Didactics, TU Darmstadt), the various perspectives of company training personnel were reflected on by representatives from practice, research and the trade union, giving the participants important impulses to take home with them.

We would like to thank all participants, the keynote speakers, the workshop organizers, the moderators and the participants of the panel discussion as well as all helpers.
