Securing skilled workers together - the contribution of universities and their partners for bright minds in the region

In the Hannover Region, innovative companies with diverse workforces meet a diverse research and study location characterized by numerous institutes and non-university institutions. These are ideal conditions for training and developing skilled workers, finding suitable career paths and alternatives and supporting and retaining bright minds. Universities play a decisive role in this. The associated challenges have now been examined in the study "Potentials of third mission activities specifically for securing skilled workers in the Hannover Region" .

The results show resources and potential for universities and companies. They can benefit better from each other and use networks to bring up-to-date knowledge to employees and develop suitable qualifications for companies. Under the right conditions, consulting and development processes can show employees and companies exactly the opportunities they need to successfully overcome current challenges.

On 19.9.2024 from 13:30 - 17:00, we will discuss the results of the study and points of contact for securing skilled workers in the Hannover Region with universities, companies, interest groups and social partners.
