Educational Program Development & Implementation Manager Hydrogen & Wind Energy in Part-Time

The Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft is one of the world's leading organizations for application-oriented research. At the Fraunhofer Institute for Wind Energy Systems IWES, the energy transition becomes a reality every day. Our focus topics are: offshore wind energy, hydrogen, test infrastructure and digitization. More than 400 employees – including around 100 students – from over 50 countries work at nine locations in scientific and non-scientific teams on the development of innovative methods to accelerate the expansion of the wind energy and hydrogen economy, minimize risks, and increase cost efficiency. Do you want to join us in shaping a sustainable future? Be part of change You will be part of the "Knowledge Transfer and University Cooperations" group at our site in Bremerhaven or Leuna. Among other things, the aim of the group is to develop part-time training and further education offers incorporating our current research knowledge in the fields of hydrogen and wind energy for a variety of target groups. This is achieved through close cooperation with the specialist scientific departments at the institute and external partners from science and industry. At present, the team consists of three employees and several students. We support each other irrespective of our projects and backgrounds. A culture of open exchange and cooperation, even beyond team boundaries and sites, are particularly important to us. In various projects, you will work independently and step by step through all phases of the development and implementation of knowledge transfer measures. This includes compiling and evaluating market analyses, developing methodical, didactic, and content-related concepts for the training programs, and implementing them. In addition, you will integrate the training programs into learning management systems and develop evaluation concepts for the review of the developed measures on the basis of a scientific analysis. In cooperation with the "Science Communications" group, you will shape the public relations work for our offers, for example by creating posts for business networks or project-related press releases. During the pilot phase, you will coordinate the preparation, implementation, follow-up, and evaluation of the measures and also oversee them from a quality assurance perspective. You will incorporate the insights gained into the further development, in addition to presenting both these insights and the experience gained during the pilot phase in publications such as conference contributions. Furthermore, you will be responsible for reporting, managing operational processes, and documentation of results. You will remain in close communication with the partners and project managers throughout the entire process. Where your schedule allows, you may also contribute to new publicly funded project proposals or the acquisition of industry projects.
