Vocational college teaching post with vocational specialization in Mechanical Engineering and Production Technology
The vocational college offers the widest range of diploma types available in NRW, including those available at vocational schools, training colleges, higher vocational colleges, technical secondary schools, professional secondary schools and technical colleges. Vocational colleges combine general and professional training. The staff of the vocational college also reflects the diversity of the professional world. Specialists in social pedagogy, business administration, and commercial and technical fields work side by side at the vocational college. You will jointly develop teaching units in teams and then implement them.
Cooperations with businesses are another important part of the work you will do. Instructors support their students in choosing a career and looking for an apprenticeship or training position. The working world is changing quickly, and requires professionals to train continuously. Vocational colleges offer well-equipped laboratories, workshops and learning facilities, as well as the latest content.

A Degree Program with a Future
You will bring one of the following educational backgrounds:
- General university entrance qualification (Abitur)
- Specialized university entrance qualification
- Advanced technical college certificate (Fachhochschulreife)
- Professional qualification (Case-by-case examination)
Students must complete twelve months of work in the field before training as vocational college instructors. This work must be performed by the start of the traineeship. Students must verify their fluency in one foreign language by the time they are admitted to complete the Master's thesis. A ten-week internship must be completed by the end of the fourth semester.
Traineeship: The 18-month traineeship takes place at either a center for practical teacher training or at a training school. The traineeship is completed by finishing the second state examination.
Due to the growing demand for instructors at vocational colleges and continued training instructors in industrial companies, graduates have outstanding professional prospects.
In addition, the degree qualifies students to register for a Master of Education (mechanical engineering) at the University of Paderborn without further requirements.
