The Nordic CAMPUS vocational training center aims to promote the social inclusion of young people with special needs. The close cooperation with the university strengthens the apprentices from both institutions and increases their chances in the primary labor market.

Synergies can be harnessed, for example by working on joint research projects. At the same time, this project paves the way for a mutual exchange. This allows students and apprentices of the University of Bremen as well as participants of Nordic CAMPUS to gain valuable insights into different areas of the respective partner institution by doing internships.

On the one hand, apprentices from Nordic CAMPUS can complete their required internships in the fields of IT, office management, and carpentry at the university. On the other hand, apprentices from the university can benefit by fulfilling the administrative part of the IT vocational training, basic metal training for the industrial electronics area, and internships in the carpentry workshop at Nordic CAMPUS.

“We, the University of Bremen, take our social responsibility seriously and are committed to supporting many groups and institutions in Bremen. Hence, the cooperation with Nordic CAMPUS is a further and logical step in this direction,” said Director of Finance and Administration Frauke Meyer. Dr. Torben Möller, managing director of Nordic CAMPUS says: “We are pleased to have gained a new and important cooperating partner with today’s signing of the contract and look forward to our mutual cooperation.”
