Welcome to the Homepage of the EU-Geschäftsstelle Wirtschaft und Berufsbildung (EU-GWB) at the Bezirksregierung Detmold
The EU-GWB is part of the Bezirksregierung Detmold, one of five regional governments in Northrhine-Westphalia. The Regional Government of Detmold is administratively responsible for the north-eastern part of the state Northrhine-Westphalia. The Detmold region, also called Ostwestfalen-Lippe (East-Westphalia-Lippe), is a mainly rural area of more than two million inhabitants. Its largest city, Bielefeld, has approximately 350,000 inhabitants. Its industry includes a number of small and medium sized businesses, specializing in mechanical engineering, woodworking (mainly furniture), a diminishing amount of textiles/clothing businesses and expanding health businesses.
The Regional Government of Detmold is - among other things - the relevant authority for all regional schools, reaching from primary schools to the 32 colleges of further education and vocational training. It includes the inspectorate for the primary and secondary school levels, reporting to the State Ministry of Education in Düsseldorf.
With the support of the State Ministry of Education, the regional inspectors for vocational training and education have organized in the EU-GWB a team of specialized and experienced FE teachers who support the regional colleges of further education in running projects funded both nationally and by the European Union. All projects are innovative, some are transnational and all of them have an emphasis on promoting professional training and education in various fields. The objective of all measures is to secure and raise the level of employment in the region by improving the professional competency of young adults. In many projects the EU-GWB cooperates with regional SMEs and other training organisations.
The EU-GWB supports colleges in planning, implementing and evaluating projects. It informs colleges about appropriate EU-programmes and is also responsible for the dissemination and transfer of the results.
Whereas initially projects administered by the EU-GWB emphasized the use of new technologies mainly in the fields of mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, woodworking and clothing, recent projects promote the development of moduls for information technology/e-learning, intelligent building and language skill improvement. In addition the EU-GWB supports and organizes different Leonardo da Vinci projects. Transnational partners of the EU-GWB and the individual colleges include training organisations from Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom.
