Education creates perspectives – from the early years of life to old age.

In the Oberbergische Kreis, diverse educational offerings accompany people on their journey: from childcare to elementary schools and secondary schools to vocational colleges and the Technical University. Lifelong learning is highly valued here.

The Volkshochschule Oberberg offers a wide range of opportunities to expand knowledge, discover new things, and develop personally.

With targeted support, particularly in the STEM field, students are already being inspired by future topics. The Oberbergische Kreis also ensures that educational paths are successful and transitions are well-supported – among other things through the Municipal Coordination Office Transition School - Career/Study.

As an economic location, the Oberbergische Kreis also offers diverse perspectives. Companies from various industries find well-trained professionals here and are supported by the Economic Development Oberberg with consulting, networking, and events.

A special focus is also placed on securing professionals in the healthcare sector: The Academy of Health Economy and Seniors (AGewiS) qualifies people for nursing, emergency services, and other areas of healthcare.

Thus, the Oberbergische Kreis connects education, training, and economy to offer people opportunities and actively shape the future of the region.
