Biography

The Chair of Vocational and Continuing Education focuses on the intersection of individual, society, education, and the world of work. It conducts research on various questions related to vocational education, including career orientation, vocational education systems, learning processes at work, continuing education, and education in the context of professional biographies or companies.
