Projects in the Berufsförderungswerk Düren
National and European projects of the BFW Düren

Projects are planned, organized and mainly carried out in the research and Development department of the BFW Düren. In 1998 the R&D section was founded within the BFW Düren to start researches concerning vocational rehabilitation for people with visually handicaps and to develop new and innovative products and courses, which will be afterwards implemented in the holistic services of the Berufsförderungswerk Düren. This work of the R&D section is carried out within national or European funded projects and usually in collaboration with other research institutes and/or other German or European training centres.
The R&D section focuses its work on two main topics:
1. Labour market research and developing new strategies for vocational training and job placement
2. IT development which includes the development of IT or e-learning training courses and software
