HO-WARP - Action-oriented continuing education in the workplace
Companies continue to have an increasing need for continuous and dynamic competence development. This requires offerings that are company-specific, flexible in terms of time and scope, and close to the real work situation. Important approaches are: Action-oriented learning with the principle of "complete action" that includes planning, preparation, execution, result control and evaluation as well as process reflection. Agile approaches in continuing education ("agile learning") for dynamic environments with a processing of real tasks from practice in short learning phases. Up to now, workplace-integrated continuing education programs have required a longer lead time and often internal efforts on the part of the companies. Action-oriented continuing education should therefore be designed in such a way that it retains its advantages in terms of content and didactics and at the same time generates a direct benefit for the company from the outset.
Project duration: November 2021 to September 2022
Project goals
- Development of a practice-oriented combination of the approaches "action-oriented learning" and "agile learning" for continuing vocational training
- Workplace-integrated learning in the company with the involvement of trainers / instructors / supervisors
- Orientation towards direct applicability in the company
All in all: creation of a procedural standard to which educational institutions can orient themselves.
The aim is that, in the longer term, various educational institutions will offer different forms of workplace-integrated continuing education that enable participants to develop their skills in line with their needs.

Empowerment of seniors in the use of digital communication and information technologies
Competent use of digital technology is a prerequisite for social participation in many areas of life today. Often, there is a lack of the necessary knowledge, advice and support, and the empowerment to ensure that the use of digital media is still feasible in old age. We wanted to gain a better understanding of what seniors need in order to actively participate in digital life. In this project, we evaluated the different requirements of the target group with the aim of subsequently offering a continuous education service.

Digital upskilling with a hackathon
The goal of this project was to equip people with future skills to make them employable in the digitalized future of work. In this project, we conducted hackathons - a modern and agile method of practical training based on real-life scenarios. In interactive projects, participants learned soft skills, future competencies and digital skills through teamwork and design thinking. They worked hands-on on real-world problems from business and industry and built relevant skills for the future of work.
