Many trainers and coaches have submitted their training concepts for the BDVT Award for Training, Consulting, and Coaching 2016/2017. According to Stefan Häseli (Vice President of BDVT and jury member), three terms appeared particularly frequently in the submitted concepts: “digital”, “sustainable”, and “individual”. These three terms reflect what is currently in demand in further education.
As has been shown in this year's BDVT award ceremony, the combination of offline and online is a clear recipe for success for modern training concepts. With the help of digital technology, in a training measure, face-to-face training, consulting, and coaching are combined. The achievement of the training goals is implemented on several levels.
This approach is also pursued by Daniel Goetz and Eike Reinhardt from Agateno. They submitted their “Azubi-Camp” to the competition and were awarded Gold at the European Award for Training, Consulting, and Coaching 2016/2017 from the Professional Association BDVT.

The award-winning “Azubi-Camp” concept
The mission: Prepare, interact, and create sustainable experiences
“Attracting and retaining apprentices and young professionals has become a challenge for many companies due to demographic change (see Agateno website)” The Azubi-Camp was therefore implemented widely to reach as many savings bank apprentices as possible, at hundreds of locations of the savings banks in Germany.
This is how the Azubi-Camp took place
The savings bank holds an annual general meeting every year. This event was directly incorporated into the concept and represented the conclusion and highlight. The Azubi-Camp started with a virtual preparation. In this phase, the apprentices received explanatory videos on the topic “Savings Bank 2030” via blink.it and discussions were held in web meetings about this content. The first ideas were collaboratively developed and visualized using an online tool. During the Savings Bank Day, the ideas were specified and subsequently presented to company representatives. The savings bank gives its apprentices projects with practical relevance and signaling effect. Even though an apprentice has only been in the company for a few years, their opinion (or the opinion of the group) is valued. So much so that the results are presented on the main stage and do not disappear somewhere in the periphery.
We are happy for Agateno about their success. Their concept includes all the ingredients that a modern training concept should have:
Prepare the participants
Facilitate the transfer of information and understanding
Participants translate the new knowledge into actions and practice
Participants receive feedback on their actions and reflect on their results
Participants interact together and learn from one another
