The Heart of Education and Training
Early Career Start on the Doorstep
Life-long learning from kindergarten onwards:
Osnabrück District offers its population fair edu -
cation and training opportunities right from a
very young age, with a wide range of services and
support possibilities. It provides a connected education
landscape, thus creating excellent prerequisites
for young talents and tomorrow’s skilled
specialists. After all, the education standard in the
population plays a crucial role in the future eco -
nom ic and social development of Osnabrück
District.
Trendsetting education management
Education begins for children already in the family
before they start going to kindergarten, and continues
all life long.
This makes it all the more important for the district
to create structures that facilitate life-long learning
and make it easy to continue education and train -
ing at all the transition stages and for all ages, for
example from school into working life.
One important element in this process is the district’s
education management, making a sustain -
able contribution to a positive development. It
connects all players in the education and training
sector with targeted coordination of offerings and
measures, thus establishing a pioneering education
landscape.
Comprehensive monitoring of education and
train ing forms a basis for controlled action. It re -
gisters the key data pertinent to the education
sector, such as the dynamics of demographic
change.
Transparent sharing and communication with the
local authorities in the district is particularly important
in an extensive area such as Osnabrück District,
thus ensuring that education and training is
geared to demand. The education management
team and its networking activities provide a kind
of seismograph to ensure that all those involved in
education know what is happening.
