The skilled workers gap in the German job market is rapidly growing as the "baby boomer" generation reaches retirement age. In Germany, the number of employed persons who are now over 45 years of age is 18.8 million. This corresponds to 45% of the total working population. Especially in the MINT area (Mathematics, Computer science, Natural science, and Technology) as well as in the health sector, Germany seeks to attract foreign skilled workers to reduce the shortage in employment. DCG wishes to support this goal by different programmes. However, to avoid bran drain in the countries of our partnering institutions and to build the local workforce these programmes are supposed to support both sides:
Upskilling the local workforce through the dual education system by partnering with vocational colleges and setting up programmes in accordance with the well-established German model. This consists of theory in the college and practice in local companies.
Together with our partner Colearning Academy, we are offering courses for vocational education programmes in four subject areas, either in a Blended Learning or in a purely online format:
In each case, theoretical components are taught, and then practical training is provided. In the final year of education, participants complete their practical phases in companies. The theoretical content largely follows the framework curricula of the corresponding German professions and is prepared by DCG partners (AWA e.V., IHK-BIZ Halle-Dessau, HSB Akademie) and made available via the learning platform of the Colearning Academy. Within the framework of this education, participants learn the German language primarily online-based in blended learning with DUO up to level A2.2. With this, they have better chances to work in German companies in their home country.
Since graduates of this programme are also potential professionals in Germany, those interested in entering the workforce in Germany are also given the opportunity to learn German up to level B1.2 by the end of the 3rd year of vocational education.
To implement a vocational education system it is necessary to have skilled trainers in the local institutions. Our TTT courses address teachers at vocational colleges who wish to learn competence-oriented teaching practice and to gain a German Trainer Certificate.
The economic activities of companies take place in a complex, dynamic, and globalized environment. This is characterized by short technological innovation cycles, changed forms of work organization, greater proximity to customers and stronger customer loyalty, increased quality awareness and a more pronounced awareness of sustainability. The demands placed on skilled workers in terms of their technical qualifications, as well as their interdisciplinary skills such as independence, willingness to take responsibility and flexibility, are increasing. This is also reflected in vocational education. Trainers are not only confronted with these increased qualification requirements. They must also consider the increasing use of information and communication technology as well as the stronger work and process orientation in vocational education.
Participants in the train-the-trainer program gain in-depth insights into the dual vocational education system in Germany and, above all, learn how to apply the vocational education requirements in their own environment. Each training unit includes a practical exercise and ends with a final test.
In six training units, four fields of action are addressed in the TTT program. These are based on the vocational education process:
We offer a module-based and an individual approach of vocational and professional training in the areas of Business Administration with focus on International Trade, Digital Business and Online Communications, Insides into German Education System. Together with our local partner institutions (Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, HTWK Leipzig, HSB Akademie Leipzig, IHK Bildungszentrum Halle-Dessau) we create an individual programme according to your needs.
We also offer online-based courses in cooperation with Colearning Academy that address professional workers who want to learn new job-relevant skills in a competence-based approach (please check Colearning Academy for more information on the courses).
