taff - technische ausbildung für fachkräfte e.V.
taff – technische ausbildung für fachkräfte e. V. is a regional training network that specializes in the sustainable securing and development of skilled workers in the commercial-technical sector. As an independent part of the BANG® training network founded in 2002, taff unites numerous companies from the Oldenburger Münsterland and beyond to effectively meet the skilled worker needs of medium-sized companies together[1][2][3].
The core offering of taff is based on an innovative, trial training system that supplements dual training with its own, inter-company training center. In this modern learning environment, trainees spend approximately 120 to 150 days to be prepared for their future tasks in a practical and comprehensive manner. This raises the quality of training to a level that would hardly be achievable for individual small and medium-sized companies alone. The network also takes over the central coordination of training activities, which noticeably relieves the operational resources[1][2].
taff pursues a holistic approach that not only includes the recruitment of new trainees and skilled workers, but also ensures their long-term retention and continuous further training in the member companies. Through joint public relations, presence at training fairs and digital communication strategies, taff improves the visibility of the participating companies and increases their attractiveness as training and employers. The regular exchanges with other regional networks in North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and Baden-Württemberg promote a constant further development of the training methods within the association[2][3].
Another important aspect of the taff initiative is the support of trainers through professional and up-to-date further training as well as digital learning opportunities that are flexibly accessible from various end devices. This enables prospective skilled workers to learn independently and supports training even under changing conditions such as increased home-schooling[5].
Sustainability plays a significant role in taff in an indirect form: Through the close cooperation of regional companies, the local economy is strengthened and the shortage of skilled workers is sustainably reduced locally. The trainees are trained in modern, practical structures that create stable career prospects in the long term. Thus, taff contributes to the sustainable development of the regional labor market landscape by specifically promoting and retaining talent.
Overall, taff stands for an innovative, cooperative and future-oriented training concept that offers small and medium-sized companies efficient solutions for securing skilled workers. As an established network, it combines the advantages of shared resources, state-of-the-art training technologies and strong regional cohesion - for the benefit of the trainees, companies and the entire region[1][2][3][5].
