Bollhoff officially opens new training centre
Bollhoff has announced the official opening of its new training and further education centre in Bielefeld. Invited guests from local politics, schools and universities as well as from partner companies, gained deep insights into the state-of-the-art training and further education centre - and, in addition to that, into training and further education at Bollhoff in general.
The Bildungscampus Bollhoff in Bielefeld is the new heart of training and further education at Bollhoff. As a hub for apprentices, students, employees and external partners, this training and further education centre offers cutting-edge technology, collaborative learning formats, and space for interaction - across a total area of around 1,600 m2.
This is where curiosity meets technology and practical experience. The goal is to learn, network and drive innovation in a sustainable and practical way. All under the official motto of the education campus: 'E3: Education - Encounter - Enthusiasm'. A total of around 5 million euros has been spent on this future-oriented investment for training and further education at Bollhoff's Bielefeld site.
Nearly 100 of the company's apprentices throughout Germany benefit from the new Bildungscampus Bollhoff, as do another 100 apprentices from partner companies. The campus provides them all with ideal learning conditions so that they can successfully take their first steps on their career path. The Bildungscampus will also be home to a wide range of further education formats for our students and employees in the future. In addition, it will offer plenty of space for encounters, exchange and collaboration, both within the company and in the context of cooperation with schools and universities in the region.
The modern premises of the Bildungscampus combine technical training workshops and modularly equipped exchange and training rooms under one roof. A smart factory laboratory for networking and robotics - including an industrial robot for experimentation - meets an innovation lab for collaborative work and creative prototyping workshops. Open spaces promote dialogue and exchange and enable synergies.
From 2026, apprentices will be able to work in an "apprentice company", just like in an internal start-up. Here, the young people can take on real projects with responsibility throughout the entire cycle - from quotation and material procurement to the production of the respective parts and their dispatch.
In addition, the Bildungscampus also provides the ideal setting for events. Whether it's future-oriented AI and digital summits, collaborative events with schools and universities, or local start-up meetings, the campus facilitates encounters - and thus also networking and innovation.
