What you can achieve

As part of the Education team, you take responsibility for central training activities within the SLRG education system. You design educational offerings, accompany people in their development, and actively contribute to the further development of our organization.

As the person responsible for training, you take on the continuous development of the SLRG's training and continuing education offerings.

You plan, organize, and conduct the continuing education weekends for our SLRG instructors (one to two weekends per year).

You review equivalencies of training and advise committed volunteers on their path into the SLRG education system.

You work in projects and working groups and contribute to the general further development of the education system.

You support the Education team with other tasks and in collaboration with partners (e.g., J+S, esa, ILSE).
