Further Education - Your Contacts at the DIHK

The Continuing Vocational Training Department of the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DIHK) focuses on economic policy and practical questions regarding vocational training. The contacts address fundamental issues and new developments, represent the interests of the economy, such as recognizing foreign degrees or vocational training law, and work on topics like commercial and technical training, university and structural issues, as well as vocational training abroad. Their expertise contributes to educational policy debates and strategic positions of the DIHK.
