Saarland University is offering a new practical training programme with the part-time university certificate ‘Resilience’: The certificate teaches managers and employees how to strengthen their personal resilience and anchor resilience in organisations. The continuing education certificate, which combines face-to-face and online events, starts on 3 April 2025 and the application deadline is 15 March.
Saarbrücken/Germany, February 27, 2025. The Kiel Institute for Economic Research has carried out modelling and fears economic turbulence on both sides of the Atlantic, the USA and Europe. Other continents excluded.
In terms of a ‘quantum economy’, this will be a positive development. In terms of each individual existence, possibly a maximum catastrophe. It is certainly a high political and economic art to consider the social substructure in addition to healthy growth. The current US administration is disregarding this and calling it intelligent in the age of intelligence. In fact, reckless actions are the real stress factor, as the Canadian Gouvanuer Ford taboo-free brings up. The question is therefore, how robust are the individual organisations to disempower this form of ruthless stress, how advanced is resilience and how robust are the markets and organisations to defend themselves.
Even more extreme forms of stress, which still characterise the era today, were experienced during the National Socialist era. SS guards played the prisoners off against each other by using prisoners as guards against other prisoners. In this way, they tried to nip contacts and an uprising in the bud. The effects of this are manifold, but with regard to the era of artificial intelligence, where humans would have to practise adaptation, war traumas pursue over-adaptation. The topic of resilience, which was able to mature naturally and slowly after the global economic miracle at the latest, now plays a key role here.
Changes, crises and increasing workloads characterise the modern working world. In this way, new factors are coming into play. While companies are investing heavily in digital transformation, one crucial success factor is often overlooked: Resilience – the ability to mentally overcome challenges and emerge stronger from stress and crises. This is where Saarland University’s new continuing education programme comes in: It teaches participants how to recognise acute stress factors, analyse their causes and take effective countermeasures.
‘Resilience is not a luxury, but a key skill for long-term success,’ explains Michael C. Bauer, business graduate, coach and certified resilience trainer. ‘Participants learn how to cope better with stress and strengthen their emotional resilience in a targeted manner – for more confidence in everyday working life,’ says the head of the new training programme.
The university certificate combines scientifically sound content with direct practical relevance. It covers four key subject areas:
– Digital transformation and its challenges
– Fundamentals and modes of action of resilience
– Methods for strengthening personal and team resilience
– Practical case studies for direct application
The training certificate consists of four face-to-face and four online events. It is aimed at managers, team leaders and employees, particularly from industries with high stress levels such as logistics, production, healthcare, public authorities or crisis management.
There are no special admission requirements for participation. The participation fee is 1,699 euros. The application deadline is 15 March 2025 and graduates will receive a university certificate for the 5 ECTS credits. Depending on the employer, educational leave can be taken for participation.
