What our customers say

“The concept of the one year course is a great opportunity for all inexperienced works council members to acquire extensive knowledge and thus be ideally prepared for day-to-day tasks. I have already been able to take away a lot and feel confident in my role as a works council member. I can therefore only recommend the course.”

Christopher Hauck

“In addition to the interesting content of the one year course, CampusArbeitswelt also offers excellent support and assistance in the case of disagreements with the employer. They have the right experts for different problems to support and make the works council’s responsibilities a lot easier to fulfill.”

Svenja Kuhnt

„Through the practical weekly cases and the corresponding preparatory and follow-up tasks, everything essential to act as a works council member is taught. Thanks to CampusArbeitswelt and the one year course, I feel very well prepared and there is always a sympathetic ear for questions.“
