Skilled Labour Helps Gaining Access to New Markets Worldwide

Renewable energies are no longer "alternative" energies, but have become profitable investments in recent years which improve the foreign trade balance of many countries. Studies show that the increased use of renewable energies raises the economic output and the number of jobs, but also reduces energy costs and helps protecting the climate in the long run.

Germany is one of the leading nations when it comes to renewable energies and holds a cutting-edge status with regard to environmental technology. The German government’s commitment to nuclear phase-out and to a gradual transition from fossil-fuel to renewable energies has spurred engineering research and technical innovation in this field. Around 380,000 people are already working in the renewable energies sector in Germany today. In addition there are around one million jobs in the environmental technology/cleantech sector.

To enforce this development, there is a need to train employees in the design, installation and operation of such systems. Training equipment for the study of energy derived from the sun, wind, water, etc is in high demand as well as training designs to create professionals who are able to master the different solutions and propose the most suitable and efficient application for each situation. Companies realize that by gaining access to skilled labour they can also gear their production towards international standards, gain access to new markets worldwide and thus enhance their competitive position.

Germany's head start in this sunrise industry is reinforced by its training expertise. "Training - Made in Germany" offers the necessary know-how to meet the challenge in the field of vocational education and training. Germany has a long-standing tradition in this field and enjoys a high reputation for the demand-driven and practical orientation of its qualification programmes. The integration of professional, social and methodological competencies characterizes the kind of knowledge German partners can provide.
