The demands on pedagogical professionals are increasing and becoming more and more complex: Supporting language education, designing inclusive educational processes, and networking the institution in the educational landscape require knowledge and skills that were not usually acquired in the course of training at a technical college or university. In order to further develop professional, personal, methodological and social skills as a basis for professional action, continuous further training is required.
Continuing education and training offers as well as various qualification opportunities not only ensure the quality of our educational institutions, they also ensure the job satisfaction of all employees working here.
As an educational specialist, you will find a range of consulting, continuing education and qualification opportunities here.

Kita qualification program
Since summer 2014, VHS Wolfsburg has been coordinating the qualification program for pedagogical staff in Wolfsburg's daycare centers on behalf of the city. The content and further development of the training programs is carried out in close cooperation with the daycare center development team (formerly Kita-Fachberatung) of the city of Wolfsburg, so that practical relevance and a focus on needs are guaranteed.
The VHS Wolfsburg collects, analyzes, and develops the content of the topics specified by the city, as well as the impulses and suggestions of the daycare center operators and managers, and compiles them into a joint continuing education program in cooperation with other providers. For this purpose, the VHS Wolfsburg publishes this program brochure.
In addition to the joint annual program, the program brochure contains an updated imprint that provides information about the cooperation partners and contact persons in the respective institutions as well as relevant programs and projects.
The continuing education program contains different formats of qualification offers for pedagogical professionals, institutions and teams: seminars, courses, lectures, in-house training, team training, study days, etc.

Support concept language education
Support concept language education
The "" opens up the possibility for Wolfsburg daycare centers to anchor language education and promotion even more strongly as a fundamental task of the entire team in the daycare center's daily routine and to establish it as an overarching cross-sectional task in interaction with current projects. The project is intended to help the facilities deepen their profile with a focus on language education and promotion. The funding is intended to enable the facilities to consciously integrate targeted language work into the day-to-day life of the daycare center in order to be able to continue it in the facility after the end of the project period.
The main goal is to enable all daycare professionals to understand language as a key competence for education in the long term and to apply language education integrated into everyday life as a consistent principle of pedagogical work. The aim is to provide strength- and interest-oriented language education and support for the children.
With the everyday integrated approach, the "Language Education Support Concept" responds to the needs of the Wolfsburg facilities as a team training.
This support includes the participation of the entire daycare team in the Heidelberg Interaction Training (HIT) in the first year and the process support of the teams over a period of another two years per daycare center by so-called "language education facilitators". The selection of suitable language training facilitators takes place in consultation with the language training coordination of the city of Wolfsburg.
