Promoting permeability through dual bachelor's programs with integrated initial and further vocational training

For demographic reasons, there is already a clear shortage of entrepreneurs, managers and skilled workers, which will increase sharply in the future. At the same time, vocational training has become less attractive. Securing the next generation of entrepreneurs and skilled workers is the most important support task for SMEs and must be given the highest priority in education policy. Graduates of Bachelor's degree programmes may be well qualified in theory, but they usually lack professional skills and practical experience. For this reason, SMEs can only gain a limited amount of the young talent they need from the high numbers of graduates from colleges and universities. Both, the qualification requirements and the demands on entrepreneurs, are high and still growing. Dynamic economic change, digitalisation, mastering the challenges in the energy sector, climate and environmental protection, etc. require qualifications that many current skilled workers do not have and that cannot be adequately taught in vocational training. For this reason, continuing vocational training is becoming increasingly important. In recent decades, however, it has become increasingly clear that vocational master training alone is less and less sufficient to successfully run a business. Therefore, in addition to master craftsman training, longer further training to become a business economist was developed and successfully implemented for prospective entrepreneurs. The project objectives concerning e.g.: • Attracting entrepreneurs and executives who have all the competences to run a company successfully and, in particular, to implement a forward-looking human resources policy and workplace innovation. • Contributing to the satisfaction of the high demand for entrepreneurs, managers and skilled workers to cope with the very large tasks in the energy and climate sector. • Strengthening the productivity and competitiveness of companies through knowledge and technology transfer, promotion of innovations and implementation of manageable R & D projects. To achieve these ambitious goals, two dual Bachelor's degree programmes with integrated vocational training and comprehensive continuing vocational training are to be developed, practically tested, evaluated and implemented. By implementing the project, Gdańsk University of Technology can improve the didactic offer and better respond to the demand for competencies in the economic environment.
