Background

Skilled crafts and vocational training belong together

Passing on knowledge and values is an important part of any apprenticeship, regionally as well as globally. KH incorporates these values in its daily work and is motivated to export these values internationally in their development cooperation projects.

Vocational education is an important part for one’s personal and social development. The so-called journeyman’s travel (German tradition of Wanderschaft) aims at acquiring further knowledge in other companies and different surroundings for three years after completing an apprenticeship. KH has reinterpreted this concept of Wanderschaft, applying it to other regions of the world – because passing on expertise and soft skills transcends the German border.

For the international team at KH, partnership is the biggest motivation. With hands-on mentality, KH makes its contribution to a sustainable development not only here but all over the world. KH is always delighted to welcome craftsmen and women from all over the world.

We are partners, not consultants.

Expertise

KH’s international project work focuses on sustainable development in the partner country in the three main areas of education, marketing and private sector cooperation.

In the field of education, KH pursues the goal of adapting the German Dual Apprenticeship Model to the regional requirements in the partner country and aligning local vocational training structures with the actual needs of the labour market. This is, among other measures, mainly achieved through the development of curriculae and teaching / exam material as well as train-the-trainer programs.

KH has profound expertise in marketing. The support in strategic planning of marketing activities as well as the great know-how in image/brand building and social media management can help institutions, TVET providers and public actors to increase their outreach.

The involvement of the private sector is a key factor for good cooperation. KH stands for networking and a dialogue between the private sector and federal institutions on eye level.
