“With Turn2Learn we create limitless opportunities for lifelong
learning at Mercedes-Benz. In the transformation, lifelong learning
is not a buzzword, but the condition for success — for the company
and for each individual colleague.”
Electrification and digitalisation are fundamentally changing
the world of work. The transformation will lead to further
development of all job profiles at Mercedes-Benz. The company is
therefore putting lifelong learning and continuing education for
employees at the centre of sustainable personnel development.
In Germany alone, Mercedes-Benz will invest more than €1.3
billion in the qualification, training and continuing education of
its employees by 2030. Turn2Learn is an extensive push that raises
qualification at the company to a new level. It combines three
elements: a wide range of learning opportunities via e-learning
platforms, customized learning paths and in addition the previously
available continuing education programs. These elements offer
employees tailor-made qualification opportunities in production and
administration — in different combinations digitally and
face-to-face.
“For a fully electric and digital future as a luxury brand, we
have generated a noticeable sense of new beginnings at
Mercedes-Benz. Turn2Learn takes this up and puts the qualification
for all employees at Mercedes-Benz on a new level. With Turn2Learn
we create limitless opportunities for lifelong learning at
Mercedes-Benz. Everyone can continue their education independent of
time and place, and across all units and levels. As a company, we
primarily rely on learning paths that enable us to forge ahead with
digitalization and electrification. I am very pleased that
Turn2Learn enables colleagues to educate themselves according to
their personal interests in order to promote willingness for
lifelong learning. In the transformation, lifelong learning is not
a buzzword, but the condition for success — for the company and for
each individual colleague,” says Sabine Kohleisen, Member of the
Board of Management of Mercedes-Benz Group AG, Human Resources
& Labour Director.
Digital e-learning platforms
Corporate management and the General Works Council have agreed
to introduce an extensive range of further training and retraining
via e-learning platforms for company and private use. In the
future, this will offer employees an unprecedented variety of
opportunities to learn independently and flexibly for their current
job or future dream job. Free access to the entire range of
platforms also gives employees the opportunity to pursue further
training according to their personal interests. The company also
bears the costs for the licenses here. The rollout will start
gradually in the third quarter in administration and in first pilot
areas of production.
Digital e-learning platforms usually offer several thousand
online courses for almost all specialist units. The offer includes,
for example, subject areas such as software, data science and cloud
computing, the teaching of general business know-how and
presentation techniques as well as agile working methods. The
learning content can be used at any time and is packaged in compact
units — often in the form of video tutorials, digital learning
cards or online exercises.
Customized learning paths
From the very wide range of qualification options, employees
will in future define customized learning paths as orientation for
targeted and future-oriented professional training. When selecting
the formats, the company enables employees to exercise as much
self-determination as possible. Learning and education thus become
a natural part of everyday working life. The learning paths are
intended to accompany employees throughout their professional lives
and will be continuously readjusted. This way, the company is also
increasing the transparency of skills and abilities across teams
and units.
Mercedes-Benz will place particular emphasis on qualifications
that are crucial for the successful implementation of the company's
sustainable business strategy and digitalisation. For example,
specific, preconfigured learning paths, such as data scientist or
data architect, are defined for the data workers. These learning
paths can be individually supplemented and adapted. To ensure
learning paths are as individualized as possible and learning
platforms are used efficiently Artificial Intelligence will be used
in the future.
Qualification in production
Employees in production are already receiving a wide range of
continuing education on digitalisation and electrification.
Production plants are becoming more and more intelligent, are
networked and collect large amounts of data. With newly acquired
data and methodological skills, employees working, for example, as
data specialists can analyse the systems much better and use them
more efficiently and effectively. Challenges and any disruptions in
the production process can thus be recognized even earlier in the
future and interruptions can be avoided.
For the ongoing transformation of job profiles in production,
the company offers, for example, suitably tailored digital
retraining with individual support and defined target positions.
After an initial successful pilot project during which employees
(the so-called “digital pioneers”) from the Berlin plant receive
further training on their individual journey to the career goal of
Junior Software Developer, projects continue: In the Mercedes-Benz
Powertrain plant in Untertürkheim “Digital Superheroes” from
production and production-related areas began training for their
extra-occupational qualification as Data Specialists in June. The
pilot projects will subsequently be rolled out further.
For a fully electric future, Mercedes-Benz trains its employees
in the field of electrics/electronics from basic to expert level.
The qualifications are based on the specific tasks of the employees
and vary in scope and content. For example, the basic requirement
for employees to be allowed to move around in the high-voltage
environment is high-voltage safety courses that only last a few
hours. An additional basic training program as an electrician,
which lasts several weeks, is necessary in order to work
independently on the high-voltage system.
Turn2Learn is the logical continuation of the chosen
qualification path
For the digital transformation, it is essential that all areas
of the company invest in the development of digital skills. In
total, Mercedes-Benz employees completed almost 1.3 million hours
of professional and personal training last year in Germany alone.
In 2021 there were around 75,000 participations in training courses
on software, coding and IT at Mercedes-Benz Group AG worldwide. At
Mercedes-Benz, around 80 per cent of all training formats are
already digital or hybrid. The additionally planned e-learning
platforms can be used to cover learning needs more quickly and to
better track learning success.
Against the background of the digital transformation,
Mercedes-Benz has rolled out the virtual ‘Digital Readiness
Programme’ worldwide. The aim of the programme was to provide the
entire Mercedes-Benz team with basic digital knowledge — from
machine learning to the Internet of Things and blockchain
technology.
The workforce in production is also in the middle of the
qualification process. Since 2020, around 57,500 employees have
successfully completed further training on topics related to
electric mobility at our MB Tech Academies in Germany.
In addition to the needs-based qualification of employees,
Mercedes-Benz also relies on targeted recruiting of new talents who
have the appropriate skills. With its revised job portfolio for
vocational training and the Cooperative State University,
Mercedes-Benz is focusing early on the skills and qualifications
that will be needed in the future. The company offers
future-oriented apprenticeships for professions such as IT
specialist or the new dual course of study on embedded systems,
which combines engineering and IT.
