Skilled workers and qualifications<\/h3><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The competitive capability of companies depends upon a sufficient number of experts and skilled workers and their qualifications. Developments in the world of work also represent increasing challenges for employees and companies, e.g. with the term of “Work 4.0”.
\nSecuring skilled personnel also includes increasing the requirement for qualification and therefore adjusting to competition via training and further education. The provision of performance today is more networked, digital and flexible and often occurs at global levels. This is why our efforts focus on these topics and inform about training options along with providing information about various subsidy programmes.<\/p>\n

Skilled personnel<\/h3>\n

By combining profession and family, companies have a tool for winning trained personnel and for meeting the need for well-qualified managers and experts in the long run. Oberhausen’s cooperation with the M\u00fclheim and Bottrop zdi centres also positively contributes to securing skilled business personnel.<\/p>\n
