Successful professional activity in home economics requires a high degree of flexibility and independent work on a daily basis in order to meet increased quality requirements. Our HBL technical college enables students to acquire skills in interdisciplinary and professional fields of action in home economics and to obtain the professional title of state-certified home economics manager (§ 22 of the state ordinance on technical colleges). In the modularized, digital form, we promote and support the competence of the students in the professional environment and combine compatibility with work and perhaps family. The state government is strengthening further education institutions. It supports the further development of citizens’ digital skills and supports the expansion of mobile and flexible learning in digital or digitally enriched course formats.
