During a visit at ZEW, the CDU party member and member of the State Parliament, Georg Wacker, was informed about the subject of education and training in the context of digitalisation. He was welcomed by ZEW Director of Business and Administration Thomas Kohl. Prof. Dr. Irene Bertschek, head of ZEW's Research Department "Information and Communication Technologies", as well as Steffen Viete, a researcher in her department, explained how the advancing digitalisation changes work processes, and what effects this has on the requirements for employees in businesses. Later on, they engaged in a lively discussion about the implications of this development for education and further training.
