The inter -company education center in Eastern Bavaria (UBZO) in Weiherhammer (Neustadt an der Waldnaab district) receives comprehensive support for the modernization of its equipment. The total funding amount is 1.3 million euros. The Bavarian Ministry of Labor takes over almost 340,000 euros.

Bavarias Minister of Labor Ulrike Scharf emphasizes: The education center is a lighthouse project for vocational training and further education in Eastern Bavaria. The modernization of the equipment ensures that our specialists are being trained at the latest state.
The promotion of the Ubzo is part of the Denkwelt project, which was realized as part of the Bavarian Digital II master plan of the Bavarian State Government. With the project, a unique inter -company educational center in the Upper Palatinate was created for the networking of various areas of education. The project addresses both the shortage of skilled workers and demographic change in rural areas. It contributes to strengthening East Bavaria and supports vocational training and further education in Bavaria. In 2024, over 500 trainees in electrical professions, metal professions and commercial professions were taught in the Ubzo. The modernization of the Ubzo is another important step towards digitization and automation of vocational training. It is an investment in the future of the vocational training center and the entire region.
