Wood construction qualification in Kassel: Your chance of new career paths

timber construction as a step into a sustainable future

timber construction is currently experiencing an upswing that not only carries economic but also ecological dimensions. Against the background of a growing market, the University of Kassel offers a part -time qualification for civil engineers and architects in order to meet the need for qualified specialists.

part -time qualifications in timber construction

The University of Kassel invites civil engineers, architects and technicians to take part in an innovative course in timber construction. The part-time training includes 15 online seminars in the winter semester 2024/25. Participants in four modules are introduced to the theoretical basics and practical applications of the timber construction. These modules can also be documented separately.

The contribution to securing skilled workers

"The demand for qualified wooden experts is constantly growing," explains Prof. Dr. Werner Seim, who holds the specialist area management for building maintenance and timber construction at the University of Kassel. Holy construction is not only an innovative possibility in construction, but also offers safe jobs in an industry that increasingly requires innovative solutions. In view of the fact that wood is considered CO2-neutral material, the positive effects on the environment should not be underestimated.

online information event for interested parties

On August 20, 2024 at 5:00 p.m., an online information event will take place, to which everyone interested is cordially invited. To register for the event, you can call the website www.unikims.de/ihb, while all relevant information on the course can be found at www.unikims.de/holzbau.

state support for timber construction

The political framework actively promote timber construction. In federal states such as Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, there are regulations that favor timber construction. In North Rhine-Westphalia, builders can benefit from low-interest loans and repayments. This clearly shows that timber construction is not only an environmentally friendly, but also an economically sensible decision.

sustainability and modern technologies

Prof. Dr. Werner Seim emphasizes that wood plays a valuable role in many building applications, especially through modern technologies such as robotics for the prefabrication of wooden elements in the hall. Prior modules can be installed quickly on the construction site, which accelerates the construction process considerably - a significant advantage compared to traditional solid construction.

Overall, the course program at the University of Kassel offers a unique opportunity to expand your own knowledge of timber construction and thus make a contribution to a more sustainable construction.
