About us
The NIRO Academy provides knowledge from practice for practice.
In 2012, our academy was designed by production companies for production companies. It started as a management academy with numerous training courses for purchasing managers, a program for trainee agents and various other training courses.
Practical experts from NIRO member companies in the metal, mechanical engineering and industrial electronics sectors have worked together to shape the NIRO Academy’s offering. We now offer a range of seminars on current and traditional topics and adapt the content to your needs.
Our academy was created through the trusting and dynamic work of NIRO members and their motivation to really make a difference. It is characterized by trust, dynamism and a desire for change and makes a decisive contribution to maintaining and developing talent and skills in companies.
Then as now, we offer you high-quality and practical qualifications, especially for medium-sized companies directly on site.
Our seminars - further training tailored to medium-sized production companies
Our training courses are specially tailored to the needs of medium-sized production companies. Whether seminars, workshops or practice-oriented training – all content has been developed together with specialists and HR managers from the industry and is geared directly to your requirements.
We know: Employees from production companies speak a common language. That’s why we create an environment in our seminars in which participants can exchange ideas and network at eye level – for a valuable transfer of knowledge and maximum practical effects.
Our offer for your further training
We offer you a wide range of seminars that can be flexibly adapted to your needs. In addition to fixed seminar dates, you have the following options:
- Academy on demand
Are you looking for a seminar on a specific topic? We have numerous industry-specific seminars available for you on demand. If your desired topic is not yet covered, we will be happy to create an individual concept that is tailored precisely to your priorities. - In-house seminars
Each of our open seminars can also be implemented as a customized in-house format for your company. This gives you the opportunity to address specific issues directly in consultation with our trainers. - Special programs with a networking character
Our training programs are specially tailored to company managers, talents and trainees. These programs, which last several months, offer a varied combination of knowledge modules, practical application of project management in internal company improvement projects and peer case consultation. We place particular emphasis on networking between participants in order to ensure long-term learning success and promote a valuable exchange of ideas.
Your personal advantage
Our academy is specially designed for specialists and managers from SMEs. Our courses focus on your individual challenges and goals. With practical case studies, independent projects and peer-to-peer exchanges, we integrate your professional issues directly into our training courses – creating measurable added value even during the seminar.
We attach great importance to networking and exchanging experiences: the NIRO Academy promotes exchanges between participants and supports you throughout the entire qualification period.
Our range is constantly being expanded and covers almost all relevant subject areas in production companies. Our program includes seminars and training courses on leadership and communication with integrated project training, purchasing, foreign trade, project and time management and sustainability.
