Clients
For companies
How can you improve the level of quality and know-how of your firm´s workforce?
A debate exists in current literature about whether the world is facing a skill shortage or a mismatch of talent. Many industries are experiencing a shortage of skilled workers. In Europe, youth unemployment has reached record levels – at the same time, companies cannot find enough young candidates with the required qualifications. We offer up-to-date strategic and market know-how for improving the level of internal training and aligning education standards and workforce qualifications at all company sites.
For public and private institutions
How can you improve the level of quality of your national education system?
The importance of education is constantly rising. More and more countries increase their spending in education but often remain behind their ambitions. The majority of countries faces low qualification levels among the workforce and a rising skill shortage. While the level of academic education is increasingly assimilating internationally, the level of vocational and professional on-the-job training still does not comply with the demands of international employers and industry.
We advise you on the very best way of exploiting the potential advantages of dual education with a very high amount of application-oriented, workplace-based and occupationally-focused elements.
For training providers
How can you sell education internationally? What is the right business model?
The changes of Brasil and, Russia and the slowdown of China blur outlooks and complicate the activities for international business. Training providers therefore need to carefully evaluate given information to make the right decision on markets and partners. We provide up-to-date know-how on developing appropriate international business models for selling education to foreign countries and we accompany your implementation process with our global network.

Global Trends
-
Demand on education – The importance of education is constantly rising. More and more countries increase their spending in education but often remain behind their intended aims. The majority of countries face low qualification levels among their workforce and a rising skill shortage. While the level of academic education is increasingly assimilating internationally, the level of vocational and professional on-the-job training still does not comply with the demands of international employers and industry.
-
Economic dynamics – The changes of Brasil and Russia and the slow down of China complicate the overall outlook for international business. Countries for exporting education therefore need to be carefully evaluated and selected to make the right decision.
-
Changes of conditions – As emerging economies develop, greater emphasis is placed upon education as central to aiding progress, empowering individuals and acting as a catalyst for further economic stability.
-
Global workforce demands – A debate exists in current literature about whether the world is facing a skills shortage or a mismatch of talent. Many industries are experiencing a shortage of skilled workers. In Europe, youth unemployment has reached record levels while at the same time, companies cannot find enough young candidates with the required qualifications.
-
Demographic shift – In the future, more jobs require higher education standards, but graduates also need to be equipped with more practical training and soft skills in order to respond to the expectations of employers. Dual study programs or other formats integrating practical training in higher education can respond to this demand.
-
Digital technology – New forms of digital and open education, such as MOOCs, blended learning or online simulations change the way we teach, and learn and communicate. Technology is a tool within this international education context which is becoming as important as the people who are involved in international education.
-
Cultural impact – Educational exchanges are one of the most powerful and long lasting influences towards national culture development, therefore investment in practical and academic exchange is considered as very important.
While the future is difficult to predict we believe that these developments are the given conditions and challenges for our service. We support companies in developing innovative concepts to export education and invite public institution to participate from our experience in improving educational systems.
