Dr. Christoph Peters, research group and project leader at the Department of Information Systems at the University of Kassel, represented the Department of Information Systems at the opening meeting of the "Employment and Further Training" focus group in Berlin on 8 April 2016 at the invitation of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (BMAS). This committee, which is made up of experts from all over Germany from the fields of society, trade unions, administration, business and science, deals with current developments in the field of employment and further training and their effects in the context of digital work.

At the first meeting on April 8, 2016, the focus was on various employment scenarios resulting from digital structural change and their consequences for the continuing education needs of companies and employees as well as success factors for in-company continuing education. The focus group will meet twice more over the next few months, in particular to prepare a contribution for the National IT Summit 2016, which will take place in Saarbrücken in November.
