Target Group:
This training is aimed at managers and anyone interested in reflecting on and expanding their own behavioural and communication repertoire with regard to gender competence.

Gender competence is a key qualification that is becoming increasingly important both for individuals and in the context of rapid social change. In light of demographic change and the growing shortage of skilled professionals, it is a factor that significantly influences the future competitiveness of organisations.
