We need a policy change
“We need a change in policy,” demands BDA managing director Steffen Kampeter in the current position. He sums up the traffic lights and dares to have a positive outlook for the year 2025.
As employers, we are optimists and will not let bad politics dissuade us. The federal election must not only bring about a change in coalition, but also fundamentally different policies. The topic of the week shows how vocational schools can be made future-proof in order to secure the demand for skilled workers in Germany.
You can read about these and other topics in the current BDA agenda.
