"Professionally qualified people, especially those with advanced training qualifications (technicians, master craftsmen), are ideally suited to work as teachers at BBS due to their professional experience. The dual study option SchulAQ offers these target groups the opportunity to complete an undergraduate degree while simultaneously working at a Saxon vocational school center. Schools can actively participate in their own promotion of young talent."
