The center of the ISE in Amberg

Managing director Peter Blendowski happily informed the ISE employees in December 2009 that the ISE language and vocational training center would be moving into new premises at the beginning of this year.

Short-time work

Red pencil?

It is an open secret that qualified employees are important for their respective employers and that targeted further training in individual subject areas also represents a financial advantage for companies in the medium to long term. Unfortunately, especially in economically difficult times, many employers turn their backs on personnel development in order to be able to use their financial resources elsewhere. “You know, if funds are needed to maintain business operations, this obviously has priority…” (HR manager of a company Raum AS).
