Evaluation of the ESF-funded "NRW Training Program" completed.

Six recommendations could be derived from the results of the evaluation based on a participant survey, which could contribute to a better effectiveness of the program or the successor program "Ausbildungswege NRW": Firstly, the target group should be sharpened; secondly, the providers should be empowered to do more public relations work; thirdly, individual support needs of the participants should be identified and ensured; fourthly, internships in the matching phase should be strengthened; fifthly, the empowerment of the participants should be promoted; and sixthly, more intensive and continuous support should be ensured during the duration of the program.

The NRW training program ran from 2018 to 2022 and provided funding for around 1,000 additional training places per year for young people with placement barriers in 34 cities and districts in North Rhine-Westphalia where the training market situation was unfavourable.

December 7 and 8, 2023: T H E Christmas Workshop at the University of Hohenheim

The Winter School at THE Christmas Workshop was held by Prof. Andreas Moxnes, PhD (University of Oslo). She summarized the results of a number of recent studies on the importance of international production networks. Against the background of supply chain problems and trade barriers, these findings are important for understanding the development of international value chains and their contribution to productivity and growth.

Nine papers were presented at the Young Researcher Workshop. The Best Paper Award went to Martin Kroczek and Dr. Philipp Kugler (both IAW) for their paper "Heterogeneous Effects of Monetary and Non-Monetary Job Characteristics on Job Attractiveness in Nursing".

The THE Christmas Workshop is a joint project of the School of Business and Economics and the Institute for Applied Economic Research e.V. (IAW) at the University of Tübingen and the Institute of Economics at the University of Hohenheim.
