PRIVATE UNIVERSITY ON A GROWTH PATH – THE DBU WELCOMES NEW SHAREHOLDER DigitalU Academy

A unique strategic partnership between the university and the consulting firm has emerged in India. With DigitalU Academy, the DBU Digital Business University of Applied Sciences was able to gain one of the leading human resources and management consultancies as a partner.

In DigitalU Academy, the DBU has found the ideal partner to successfully develop and expand the holistic and lifelong learning offering of academic training and further education modules into a full-service offering for the supply and development of skilled workers. “The partnership-based cooperation in the area of ​​academic training and further education is not only proving to be a very attractive model for young talents in the digital working world of the future,” says Managing Director Prof. Dr. Achim Hecker about the positive development. “But it also offers companies a holistic approach to solving one of the most pressing problems of our time: recruiting, developing and retaining skilled workers.”

According to a current study by the Cologne Institute of German Economics (IW Cologne), there could be a shortage of up to 4.2 million skilled workers in Germany by 2040. In many industries, the shortage of skilled workers is not only putting a strain on existing staff. It also has a negative impact on general public services and future growth opportunities. In addition, Germany is in a phase in which the population is aging rapidly. The impending demographic challenge requires innovative approaches to the local labor market.

“Smart retention management through intelligent learning and further training formats are the new recruiting. With the takeover of DBU, we want to offer our clients a further building block for overcoming the shortage of skilled workers, which represents a future-oriented model for cooperation between companies and educational institutions in the age of lifelong learning,” says Fabian DigitalU Academy, Co-CEO of the consulting firm.
