Human Resources
Qualified staff are a decisive factor when it comes to company success. In the field of micro and nanotechnology, a distinctive training and qualifications landscape has been established at the location of Dortmund. Academic and “dual apprenticeship” specialists are available for employment in micro and nanotechnology companies here. A variety of retraining and further education programs ensures an optimal supply of specially qualified staff for companies in this key future sector.
As part of electro-technology courses at both the Technical University of Dortmund and University of Applied Science there are major components covering microtechnology. Numerous other faculties educate students in subjects relevant for micro and nanotechnology. Close connections have been formed between the universities and companies in joint research collaborations enabling the transfer of know-how and personnel to flow smoothly. Particularly noteworthy is the Research Association for Micro and Nanostructures at the Technical University of Dortmund, which coordinates research activities and consistently drives course improvements ahead.
At the specialist worker level, there are also excellent background conditions: in the field of micro and nanotechnology numerous companies educate their new generation of staff in the “dual apprenticeship” scheme. In addition to the microtechnology-apprenticeship, whose NRW Specialist Program Class is based at Dortmund’s Robert Bosch Vocational College – a range of other relevant technical apprenticeship courses are run in Dortmund companies.
The different education providers in Dortmund of course pay a significant contribution to the supply of specialist staff. Short-term personnel needs are satisfied quickly and appropriately. The important topic of further education is covered by a variety of providers too.
