Is our university education still contemporary?
The Welt And with it, new technologies are changing faster and faster, and traditional professions such as bankers or even doctors will probably soon die out - if you can Gunther Dueck follows - even if you can't quite imagine it yet.
And the Technology is developing faster than the training occupations can keep up, see the shortage of skilled workers in the IT. Even ProfessorThose in relevant courses are now desperately asking what to teach their students. Therefore, there would be some flexibility and permeability in occupations useful.
What such Professorto teach their students?

Some time ago I talked to one at an event Professor a hamburger Universitywho's there for the Vocational Training is responsible for media studies courses. And he told me about a serious one Problem: That you don't even know how to properly train young people because you have no idea what the job market will ask for tomorrow.
At the moment, the budding media people are learning to program apps, because that's a big hit with publishers at the moment. in the near Future but, so was my interlocutor for sure, something completely different would be asked. And he was right about that.
The training is lagging behind: The digital change needs new professions faster
But that is just one example that can also be applied to many other areas: training content is becoming outdated today fast. Accordingly, this one was Professor a man in need - and indicative of our German training system. Because even if modern technology changes the requirements on the training market more rapidly than universities can provide training (in this case a training course lasts 3 years):
Apparently it is still quite deep in the mind that only a clever vocational training in subject X enables one to practice precisely this profession X. And with the Professorbut unfortunately also with the young people, who constrict themselves so unnecessarily. The topic I have already dealt with here.
Skilled labor shortage - but not a fairytale?
Discounts for your success (advertising)!
And that has long been true not only for journalists, since access is still comparatively open, but above all for technical professions. No wonder that “help, shortage of skilled workers” is often called: if Companys are looking for professionals who have practically completed their training and don't need to teach them anything else, then this is the one selection actually quite limited.
It has long been an open secret that one usually learns his skills best in the job: Learning at Doing. But this wisdom does not seem to taste to many:
- The companies do not, because you have to teach the people something and lose time.
- Not to the universities, because who would study the carefully designed courses of studies, if it came out that they are comparatively worthless in the labor market?
- And not for the students either, because they get it drummed in a regular way in some subjects and they have to repeat themselves over and over again, that they study the right one, which helps to secure a job - otherwise the uncertainty would simply be too great.
Lifelong learning - but how?
Personal responsibility looks different. But that's exactly what it should be Objective of an apprenticeship: That you can later continue your education on your own responsibility (the much-cited, but often hollow-phrased lifetime Things to Learn) and can face new challenges flexibly.
But it would also require a labor market that rewards such skills and enthusiasm, no employers who are looking for a specialist in the labor market, which they really have to develop themselves. And let the generalist lie on the left, instead of giving them opportunities.
Get serious about lifelong learning
I find a statement by Recruiting-Expert Henrik Zaborowski:
The whole babble of “lifelong learning”, which was never really serious, has to come true now. Simply because in the future there will be occupations / activities that hardly anyone can do today. If I could study on the job, I could change my focus every 5 years if I wanted to and I had what it takes. And so find out what I really can and want.
Is everything still the same?
Joachim Diercks, CEO of the HR-Service provider Cyquest, doesn't believe that Career choice- and the training system will fundamentally change:
We have a systemic education system, at least in the dual vocational training, which has proven to be a model of success (at least for the economy, for the individual there is room for improvement ...) and secondly, has burned deep into the collective cultural consciousness.
What does the future of training look like?
And both are somehow right: I also think that this attitude “an education for a lifetime” is a bit outdated and can only make you unhappy because your own wishes and needs yes change constantly. And finally, education must also become more interactive and spontaneous.
What does the dream training of the future look like? We need permanent ones Communication eg with companies instead of fixed, rigid curriculum corsets. Something like that is almost impossible with today's education system: Maybe we just have to radically rethink education, away from institutions and curricula, towards more interactivity?

When and where did you do that?

Absolute support for Ms. Janson. Both schools and universities train young people by ignoring reality - with exceptions, of course, such as probably some engineering courses. I'm sure the thing about theory and incompetent practitioners certainly applies to construction. When it comes to photovoltaics, energy efficiency, construction marketing, definitely. But that's just one of many dimensions.
Instead of staying with debates about the form (Abi in 12 or 13 years?), We should rather talk about content: What do we actually learn, what is really necessary? Against this background, we urgently need to ask the stubborn attitude that theory is per se and in principle good.
In this context, a reading tip: “Die Weltwoche”, current issue (46/2011), page 67. There, the political scientist Michael Hermann wrote a reply to two scientists who tried to dismantle him in the previous issue.
Mr. Hermann writes about the disaster of the science company:
“It goes without saying that one takes public funds, but does not endeavor to have the research results flow back into the public (...) What is good and right for the natural sciences often leads to self-referential, detached and self-referential ones in the social sciences revolving research activities. If academic political science doesn't like my work, then there is only one way to oppose me: They have to ProfessorHowever, dare to venture out of the ivory tower and strive for a language that is understandable even outside the specialist community. "
Against this backdrop, we should indeed rethink the entire education system.

Journalists are career advisors, doctors are motivators or PR managers opportunity checkers. Schools and universities have thus far been closed to this group of practitioners, and thus also the coffers of the state education system. The question of Thilo Baum, according to the necessary knowledge, can only be answered dogmatically from my knowledge. What is required in the curriculum is necessary. The goal of the practitioners seems clear. Pure with the practical knowledge in the curricula and thus in the schools and universities. Thilo Baum, the GSA and other trainers, have often asked me to start a school, but train the trainer institutes, the industry for the industry, have often been the only source of funding for speakers. I am skeptical as to whether consultants and trainers without educational, psychological or sociological university education find meaningful solutions for our education system. In my world, more freelancers with universal competence are unnecessary. I am looking forward to well-educated people who solve the current problems of society in interdisciplinary teams.

What the future brings is hard to say. But if you look back from today, the media world has changed a lot. But only in part.
Sure, some concrete skills that will be needed in the future, you have to acquire only when the need for it is there. This goes to those who are already working in the media, but also not otherwise.
However, I agree that we need major changes in the education system. To a certain extent, you can continue as a professional in your spare time, but that has limitations. Here, which create the prerequisites I think is more difficult than financing issues.

Hello Zorem,
that is nice that you have this attitude and I also find that that should be so. One can see, however, how much pressure is exerted at the universities to push people into prefabricated training schemes. Pretty sad the whole! -
What do you know for Professors? How is the man Professor become? Studying is about methods and basic knowledge. Without theory, there are incompetent practitioners.
