history

The BNW was founded in 1969 as an association by the Institute of North German Economy, the Lower Saxony employers' associations, the General Employers' Association of Hanover and the surrounding area, and NiedersachsenMetall , the employers' association of the metal industry in Lower Saxony. The aim was initially to create a separate training institute for member companies and their employees.

The transformation of the educational work of the non-profit association for profit company in 1993/94 was because of their own economic activities: The BNW holds interests in Demography Agency for the Economy GmbH and northern education, training association for the metal and electrical industry gGmbH . The BNW has been a member of the Lower Saxony Association for Free Adult Education (nbeb) since 1988 .

Focus

school

At the BNW, teachers receive advanced training with a view to preparing lessons for work, as well as information about training and study opportunities for students. In 2018, 1239 teachers and school principals took part in training courses.

Professional orientation

Practice days, company visits and application training are offered for schoolchildren from the 8th grade onwards. Management games, for example the "Management Information Game" (MIG), in which students change into the role of managers, are intended to provide insights into business and economic processes. In 2018, 20,700 schoolchildren took part in the offers for professional orientation and around 1,500 young people in projects for professional preparation. Speakers from the Bildungswerk provide information at regional job fairs.

labour market

Vocational training such as CNC qualifications, rehabilitation measures and language courses for immigrants and refugees are part of the labor market services that the BNW provides. This also includes retraining measures: in 1989, for the first time, unemployed humanities scholars, teachers and sociologists were trained for the requirements of mechanical engineering companies. The qualification of skilled workers from other EU countries for the German labor market , the reintegration of employees after the family phase and vocational rehabilitation are part of the integration measures. So-called inclusion guides of the BNW advise companies with disabled employees.

Seminars and courses

The open seminars, events and courses (for example on the subject of "digitization of the world of work") are opposed to training alliances with companies. The advanced training courses of the BNW, which are also taken by corporations, include qualification measures in the IT area, special driving licenses, English courses, leadership topics, personnel management, labor law and purchasing.

Management and shareholder

The management of the BNW is carried out by Tobias Lohmann and Bastian Schmidt-Faber. The supervisory board consists of Bernd Mundt (chairman), Carl van Dyken (vice chairman), Natalia Kontsour-Selivanov, Arthur Starnofsky, Gisela Strnad and Sven Vogt (as of 2019).
