As part of our student training programme, we cooperate with numerous vocational schools and teacher training colleges in Lower Saxony (Braunschweig, Göttingen, Hanover, Hildesheim). In addition, we offer our students various opportunities in our seminar programmes to discuss current challenges of social transformation processes with experts from different fields (e.g. with school administrators and teachers from vocational schools, training and further education staff from companies, with researchers from other vocational and business education locations).
