Background
Ensuring the highest standard of resident-centered care and actively addressing the shortage of skilled workers—that is the goal of the project “Care of the Future!” by the AWO District Association of Baden e. V. The project lays the groundwork for new, holistic structures that both optimize operational processes and ensure the long-term quality of care.
The focus is on a shift in perspective: moving away from a rigid quota of qualified staff toward a mix of skill sets. By deploying staff based on their competencies, care and support services are improved, while existing expertise is specifically recognized and utilized. A key component of the project is the “Leadership Skills” seminar for nursing professionals.

Task
The goal of the training is to empower nursing professionals in their new leadership roles within changing work structures. The target audience includes nurses who have completed a three-year training program. Particular emphasis is placed on development potential in the areas of communication and language.
Solution
A seminar program developed on behalf of fortbildung1, Stuttgart
Participants are already in leadership roles or are preparing for them, and thus bring practical experience in internal and external communication to the table. This enables particularly hands-on learning: the content is developed directly in relation to real-world tasks and current challenges. Everyone can contribute their own case studies and use them to practice their skills.
The instructional approach combines:
_in-depth theoretical input
_practice-oriented small-group work
_simulations of real-life leadership situations
_meta-level reflection

Quote
„Die Schulung hat unsere Pflegefachkräfte in ihrem Führungsverständnis deutlich gestärkt. Besonders wertvoll war der hohe Praxisbezug – wir konnten konkrete Situationen aus unserem Alltag bearbeiten und direkt Lösungen entwickeln. Die Zusammenarbeit im Team hat sich spürbar verbessert, und unsere Mitarbeitenden gehen sicherer mit Konflikten um.“
