Continuing education

Competence and knowledge are of outstanding importance for the development and preservation of personal identity as well as for social participation. But society is being shaped more than ever by development and innovation. Consequently, the demands on employees are growing.

That is why continuing vocational education is an indispensable part of our program offering. It starts with skills such as learning ability and language skills and extends to qualification courses related to a degree.

You will also find offerings for professional advancement in pedagogical, business management and technical areas. Events on cross-cutting topics that strengthen professional and personal skills round out the offerings.

Various training courses are organized for specific target groups - especially in the area of IT programs - for beginners and advanced learners.

Especially in the professional context, knowledge is quickly outdated. The knowledge in the EDP area must be constantly updated. For this reason, it is important to be open to new things and to remain curious in order to meet the requirements of the job market. By successfully passing exams (Xpert, VHSConcept,...) you document the level of knowledge you have acquired. Expand your professional and social skills.

"Open University Wolfsburg (OHW)" - Shaping Permeability between Vocational and Higher Education

The project, which is funded by the city of Wolfsburg, aims to open up the Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences to new target groups. The interlinking of Ostfalia and VHS offerings leads to an opening for individual educational careers and thus to an increase in permeability between the individual educational systems.

In the long term, the educational landscape in Wolfsburg is to be expanded, the number of people willing to study is to be increased, preparation for university is to be improved, the dropout rate is to be reduced, and the shortage of skilled workers in the Wolfsburg region is to be prevented.

The cooperation between the Adult Education Center and Ostfalia is intended to increase the proportion of students at Ostfalia with skills acquired in professional practice and thus to counteract the declining numbers of applicants with traditional school entrance qualifications due to demographic change.

One of the project's core objectives is to develop and implement modular measures to prepare students for and accompany their studies, which, among other things, help to reduce the fear of thresholds at the transition from vocational training to higher education and successful completion of studies. In addition to bridge courses in the areas of mathematics, scientific writing, self-management and time management, insights into study program-specific content will also be provided.

The program will be supplemented by information events on the range of courses offered by the university, on financing studies and on the application procedure. Here, needs must be analyzed and tailored measures based on the existing educational offerings of the project partners must be developed and implemented.

Prospective students will be informed about the new university access options by the project participants through individual counseling, through events and through cooperation with business, associations and unions, and will be advised along their individual educational biography.

• Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences
• VHS Wolfsburg

Term:

• 2014 - 2018

Funding:

• City of Wolfsburg

Bildungsagentur Wolfsburg AG is committed to the concept of lifelong learning and provides enhanced qualifications. As a partner to education and training initiatives, it promotes exciting educational opportunities for children, young people and adults.

As the 2011 leo. - Level One study showed, illiteracy is a phenomenon that affects large segments of our population. Overall, 7.5 million adults did not have the minimum written language skills required by our society. This represents 14.5% of the total population.

The majority of those affected are employed, and many have completed high school or vocational training. In order that the deficits in reading and writing are not noticed by the environment, those affected develop strategies to circumvent and avoid certain situations, which is one of the reasons why illiteracy is hardly noticed as a social phenomenon in Germany.

The Adult Education Center offers those affected a space to overcome difficulties in reading and writing and to have positive learning experiences. In small groups, participants learn the basics of German grammar and spelling, improving their spelling, reading and expression skills step by step. We provide information and advice free of charge and discreetly!
