TALENT HUB - WORKFORCE FOR YOUR INVESTITION

Münsterland stands for technology, innovative spirit and future-oriented entrepreneurship. The targeted promotion of research and development as well as a supportive environment for start-ups and growth companies are key components of the regional economic profile. In addition to excellent universities, non-university research institutions also shape the scientific landscape - and enable the focused development of regional areas of expertise.

Particularly relevant for investors: The region has a strong potential of skilled workers. This is due to the qualified graduates from local universities, numerous training companies and the strategically favorable location in the vicinity of other strong labor markets such as the Ruhr region, Osnabrück, East Westphalia and Enschede (NL).

DUAL EDUCATION AND STUDY PROGRAMMES: PRACTICE-ORIENTED TALENT FROM MÜNSTERLAND

The Münsterland region stands for a strong education system with a high practical orientation. The dual training system in particular is a central pillar of securing skilled workers in the region. It specifically combines practical work experience with theoretical knowledge at vocational schools - and thus creates a future-oriented qualification that is geared towards the real needs of the economy.

Trainees not only acquire in-depth specialist knowledge, but also direct work experience in local companies. This close integration ensures a high standard of training and the rapid deployment of skilled workers in companies.

The offer is supplemented by dual study courses at universities such as Münster University of Applied Sciences, where theoretical phases at the university are combined with longer practical phases in companies. The result: highly qualified graduates who meet the increasing demands in industry, services and technology - and who are rooted in the region.

For investors, this means a reliable talent pool, short induction periods and a closely coordinated training system that actively involves companies - ideal for sustainable growth in the Münsterland region.
