Corporate Academy

As a corporate academy, we offer GIZ staff and managers on learning.giz.de more than 300 high-quality training courses, some of which can also be booked by the general public. In addition, we accompany GIZ staff during their company onboarding and prepare development workers for the specific conditions of their assignment and support them after their return from the partner country.

Commissioned and funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Academy also prepares and supports experts from GIZ and over 35 German seconding organisations before and during the first two years of their assignment abroad. In more than 20 practice-oriented trainings the Skills4Abroad programme offers professional, cultural and personal content – also for accompanying family members.
