There were, however, hardly concepts and materials for the practice. On the basis of successful examples, the »Good-Practice-Agency Nachhaltigkeit in Beruf und Arbeit (GPA NiBA)» shows how to tackle this challenge. By means of these projects and together with experts, the agency develops quality criteria for sustainable development that should be transferred to the vocational further education.

Practice examples provide orientation
The GPA NiBA understand itself as communication interface for actors and as networking service for good practice. Goal is the integration of sustainable development into the structures, regulation systems and responsibilities of the vocational further education. Systematic network is of central importance. The agency coordinates and organizes regional networks, actors conferences and working teams to facilitate the direct knowledge transfer. Moreover, it offers qualification measures for teachers and trainers. The internet platform
