A pioneering initiative in North Rhine-Westphalia and beyond

With a budget of up to €1.96 million per cluster over 3.5 years, this initiative aims to increase the quality and attractiveness of dual vocational training in the lignite mining regions, including the Rhenish mining area in North Rhine-Westphalia.
