More competence and know-how for your company

Invest in the future of your company by offering employees access to online study programmes that are employer-funded: The success of your company's goals depends to a large extent on the skills and commitment of your employees. By consistently promoting higher education programmes, you create an investment that pays off many times over and gives you a decisive competitive advantage in the "War for Talents".

1. Train skilled workers

Through higher education, professionals can better develop their talents and acquire specialised expertise – skills that can be used in the further development of your products or services.

2. Retain employees

Further training opportunities enhance your reputation as an attractive employer. This is because, in the age of lifelong learning, the opportunity for further education – alongside salary or promotion prospects – takes on a central significance.[1]

3. Increase productivity

The opportunity for further training makes employees feel appreciated, which leads to higher loyalty. This in turn has a positive effect on your team's productivity and willingness to perform.

A win-win for you and your employees

Wenn Du eine Idee hast, ihn auf dem board

Flexible study programmes and models: In order to ensure that our students master their higher education and career, we offer various time models to suit their circumstances – with a wide range of subject and industry specialisations to strengthen their individual career profile in a targeted manner.
