"I am already an expert somewhere - professionalization of in-company continuing education personnel"

So far, we know surprisingly little about the people who shape continuing education in companies: what qualification paths they take, what tasks they take on, how they see themselves - all this and more has hardly been researched to date.
In the latest issue of bwp@, which focuses on "Vocational/in-company further training", an article featuring our department explores precisely these questions:
🔍 The current professionalization theory discourse surrounding in-company continuing education personnel
🗣️ Results of a new qualitative interview study on:
▪️ qualifications
▪️ career paths
▪️ Employment situations
▪️ the concrete range of tasks
▪️ and the professional self-image
