Future of work: Innovative further training for Baden-Württemberg revealed!

Haus der Wirtschaft, 70174 Stuttgart, Deutschland - On May 15, 2025, the final event "Innovative further education in focus" took place in the Haus der Business in Stuttgart. On this occasion, the results were presented to innovative further training projects, which were funded with the support of the Ministry of Economics, Labor and Tourism in Baden-Württemberg. In his speech, the ministerial director Michael Kleiner emphasized the significant effects of social and technological developments on the economy and the world of work.

This day today, both employees and companies face various challenges that require new knowledge and skills. In order to meet these requirements, political support is required to create relevant training opportunities. The promotion of the state of Baden-Württemberg has created a space for the development, testing and practice maturity of further training projects, with the aim of introducing innovative offers across the country.

Promotion of future -oriented qualifications

on the further training offensive. The projects were encouraged in three funding calls: Next. The focus of the funded projects includes digitization, cyber security, artificial intelligence as well as sustainable technologies and the sustainable construction industry to strengthen the competitiveness of companies.

The corporate landscape changes significantly through digital change. According to the VDI knowledge forum, this includes new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) that automate routine tasks and enable cooperation via digital tools. This development leads to the production and analysis of big data, which increases efficiency in corporate management.

state support and further training trends

The changes in the world of work, caused by digitization and a continuing shortage of skilled workers, make state -funded qualifications necessary. Studies show that 16% of 18- to 64-year-olds took part in formal educational activities in 2022, which underlines the importance of further training. The KCE training monitor of 2024 also shows that companies have to align their strategies to valuable qualifications in order to meet the challenges of the market.

Some funded programs are aimed specifically at job seekers and employees, including initiatives such as educational vouchers and the qualification offensive, which aims to support specialists in the areas of care and social services. The current skilled worker bottleneck analysis emphasizes that nursing professions are among the professional fields with the greatest bottlenecks.

importance of further training for companies

The continuing education of the company is increasingly based on the need for digital and technical skills, especially in IT security and digital project management. Companies invest in further training courses such as economic or technical specialist in order to strategically qualify their employees. It is important that not only the managers, but also IT managers and decision-makers are included in the programs.

In view of these trends, it becomes clear that further training is of crucial importance for companies and job seekers. The measures for professional support are not only necessary for adaptation to technological developments, but also an important instrument to secure future viability in a rapidly changing working environment.
