Program Director

"At a time when technological opportunities and the market situation are changing very quickly, it is difficult for companies - even market leaders - to keep up with new developments. Individual employees in particular have to constantly re-orient and qualify themselves - at the highest academic level. This requires time out sessions and conscious, far-sighted qualifications."
