Successfully introducing specialist careers

From planning to implementation

This training is held in German.
Specialist careers are gaining in importance in times of digitalization. Many organizations are dismantling hierarchies and switching to agile forms of work. Interest in traditional management careers is also tending to wane among junior staff. Professional specialist careers offer employees prospects for a long working life, strengthen the competitiveness of companies and contribute to securing the future through targeted skills development. This training provides an overview of the key points of professional careers and the steps involved in their successful introduction.
