In cooperation with the education centre in Sprockhövel, the LPS Learning Factory and the Academy of the RUB gGmbH we developed a continuing educational certificate program for work council members.
Over the course of one and a half years, theoretical knowledge is imparted to the participants in nine modules. This knowledge is also applied, tested and supplemented in five modules by means of practical exercises in the real production environment of the LFF.
In addition, the modules take place partly on the RUB campus and partly at the IG Metall training center in Sprockhövel.
The goals of the program are to strengthen and expand the competencies of works council committees and to shape comprehensive digital transformation processes of work through co-determination of works councils and participation of employees.
The modules deal with a wide range of topics: Digital transformation, change in industrial work, resource efficiency, financialization, leadership and company HR policy, shaping working and performance conditions, data protection, demographics and qualification.
The continuing education program originated in 2019, and the second season is currently underway. The next start date is 2022.
