Weidemann starts a successful training project in Korbach!

Korbach, Deutschland - in Korbach, Weidemann GmbH has launched a remarkable pilot project that could not only influence the future of the company, but also that of its employees. Together with the employment agency and the Korbach Education Agency, a program was launched that aims at the training of the workforce. The aim is to adapt to the requirements of the changing labor market - especially through digitization, artificial intelligence and structural change. This reports hna .

The project started with initial talks in May 2024 and was specially tailored to Weidemann's needs. Fortunately, 85% of the employees agreed to the concept, which speaks for the success of the project. In an extensive training series, a total of 260 employees were trained on over 240 days in order to equip them perfectly for the challenges of the future.

An important component: qualification money

The heart of the project is the qualification money, a funding program that decreases the financial burden of further training for the company. According to ZDF today, companies with more than 250 employees have to provide at least 20% of their workforce to participate, whereby the further training of 120 hours must include. This funding model primarily supports the industries that are severely affected by the structural change and the goals of climate neutrality. These include the automotive industry and the energy -intensive economy.

The qualification money not only acts as an incentive for the companies, but also offers employees a financial support. You get 60% of your net salary, and 67% of employees with children. Employers can increase this amount, with the approval of the employees for further training. This wage replacement should help to secure the workplace and at the same time to counteract the shortage of skilled workers, so TÜV Rheinland .

sustainable perspectives for Weidemann

The feedback from the employees who took part in the training were consistently positive. Many have expanded their skills and now have the necessary knowledge to deal with the changes in the work environment, which also contributes to reducing fears. Weidemann plans to offer internal training courses in the future. A particularly gratifying aspect: The project was secured by around 15 jobs, which is a considerable performance in today's days when many companies have difficulties.

Ingo Wagner from the employment agency sees the project as an examples of successful team spirit and emphasizes how important support is through clear information on funding opportunities. Sebastian Münscher from the Bildungswerk also emphasizes the creation of incentives to motivate companies to take the further training of their employees seriously.

It shows that Weidemann GmbH not only drives the qualification of its employees ahead, but also makes a valuable contribution to securing future in the region. The example makes it clear how important it is to actively shape the change and use opportunities in further training.
