BR360° annual course for newly elected works council members

The BR360° annual course is ideal for you if you:

• are new to the works council and want to act confidently and quickly
• are ambitious and want to put your skills to professional use quickly
• are looking for a personalized, clear, accelerated learning path—without the chaos of many individual seminars
• need real support in your day-to-day works council work (hotline, exchange with other works council members, coaching)

Start quickly, learn quickly:
If you want to make rapid progress, the BR360° annual course is your accelerated learning path. And we will support you along the way.

The BR360° annual course is not a subscription model or a loose module booking. It is a clearly structured, self-contained 12-month program with a fixed learning schedule. All relevant basics and practical modules are already included and build on each other systematically. So you are not booking an open modular system, but a binding development path with a clear structure and a predictable conclusion – with the goal of becoming fully operational within a year.

Structured and practical. We combine modern learning methods that really empower you to take action:

• Micro-learning: Quickly absorb knowledge that you can access anytime
• Live workshops: Application and exchange, directly with other works council members
• Case simulations, e.g., operational changes or termination
• Peer learning: Develop solutions together, learn from each other
• Expert hotline & quarterly reviews: Personal support

This allows you to really apply what you have learned in your everyday work.

Compared to traditional individual seminars or the flexible 360° path, the BR360° annual course guides you through all relevant skill levels in a clear 12-month period.

Because you go through all the relevant levels in just 12 months:

• Level 1: Orientation & legal certainty – your foundation for confident action
• Level 2: Application in social & personnel issues – you act confidently in conversations and negotiations
• Level 3: Economic matters, operational changes, termination – you make confident decisions
• Leadership skills: First steps to actively shaping committee work

The content is taught efficiently in person and digitally and applied in live workshops.

Realistic planning: You invest 3–4 hours per week.

The BR360° annual course has a flexible structure, with clearly structured weekly tasks that give you guidance and fixed live appointments that enable practical exchange and direct support.

Your mentor accompanies you throughout the entire learning path—and supports you in confidently mastering every challenge.

The costs of the BR360° annual course are always borne by the employer - guaranteed by law in accordance with §37 BetrVG.

Because you get a coherent learning system—instead of individual, isolated events.
The BR360° annual course builds consistently on itself, guides you safely through all skill levels, and quickly makes you ready to take action.
