About us

The Impact School prepares people for professions that our society urgently needs – and gets them into employment quickly and sustainably.

We develop practice-oriented further training courses for career changers, people returning to work after a break, and individuals undergoing a career change – especially in areas with high demand for skilled workers such as education, childcare, and nursing.

Our focus is not only on knowledge, but on real employability:
We accompany our participants closely, collaborate with employers, and create concrete transitions into the job market.

Because we are convinced:
There are enough people who want to work, but not enough clear paths.

These are the paths we build.

We put people to work where they are needed

Many people want to work in social professions – but traditional training paths are often long and difficult to access. At the same time, the very places where these professionals are most urgently needed are experiencing a shortage.

The Impact School creates new, practical pathways into work: We qualify career changers, people returning to work, and individuals undergoing career reorientation for positions in education, childcare, and nursing.

Our programs specifically prepare you for entry and combine qualification with real job market prospects. This creates concrete opportunities—for our participants and for a system that urgently needs support.

Potential employers

Our guiding principles

The Impact School is a platform for people who want to pursue a meaningful career in the social and educational sector. Our aim is to train qualified specialists who will shape the future of our educational institutions and ensure that children receive the highest level of care and support. We close the gaps in the pedagogical labor market through practical training and close cooperation with daycare centers, schools and educational institutions.

Equal opportunities for all

We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of background, gender or previous experience. Our programs are open to anyone who wants to pursue a career in the social sector - whether as a career changer or with existing experience.

 Success comes from cooperation

Success is the result of teamwork. At the Impact School, we see our participants, lecturers and partners as a strong network that works together to train qualified specialists. Through cooperation with educational institutions and employers, we promote the exchange of knowledge and practical experience.
