Volkshochschulen: A Network for Lifelong Learning.
This job portal of the DVV offers diverse career opportunities in the field of adult education. It supports Volkshochschulen in finding qualified employees who promote lifelong learning.
Volkshochschulen are non-profit institutions dedicated to adult and continuing education. They offer a comprehensive range of courses, from language courses to professional qualifications to cultural and health topics[2][3]. The Deutscher Volkshochschul-Verband (DVV) is the umbrella organization that represents the interests of the Volkshochschulen at the national and international level.
The mission of the Volkshochschulen is to promote the right to education for all and to create equal opportunities[2]. They are committed to strengthening democratic society by empowering people to participate actively in it[2].
Volkshochschulen are committed to building sustainable educational structures in the long term. They are calling for greater financial support from the federal government to further expand their offerings[2]. They are also involved in literacy and basic education to address social challenges[2].
The DVV actively networks with business and politics to strengthen the importance of general continuing education. Participation in Zukunftstag Mittelstand underscores this commitment[4]. In addition, Volkshochschulen work closely with local Jobcenters and companies to meet the demand for skilled workers and strengthen the regional economy[3][4].
