Zur Weiterbildung an die Hochschule? Barrieren für die Aufnahme eines weiterbildenden Studiums

Vocational continuing education is becoming more significant in modern employment biographies. A growing range of work-based study programmes and the recent opening tendency for persons holding vocational qualifications attracts attention to universities as providers of continuing education. Still, academic formats play a comparatively small role in the market of continuing education. The report explores the reasons for the low acceptance of academic continuing education. For this purpose, 72 people were interviewed who participate in continuing education on the topics of coaching and fundraising. A lack of time due to work and family-based commitments, financial difficulties and information deficits were revealed as the main reasons for not choosing academic programmes.
