More and more new technologies and technical devices are used in the care
sector. At the same time there is an increasing lack of well qualified staff
meeting an increasing demand in this sector.

From the enhancement of the
classical training for nursery staff about technical education, it is hoped to
interest more young people for care professions (esp. young men).

These trainees will also be well educated for the increasing need for technical skill in care and have additional career opportunities. In the region, there are many small and medium enterprises in the fields of machine construction and electrical engineering adequate for the practical parts of the technical education which would also profit from input about technical products demand in the care professions.
