Paderborn University attaches great importance to the further education and training of its employees. Since 2000, there has been a wide range of courses on offer as part of the internal further education and training programme.

As a family-friendly university, it is important to Paderborn University to organise employment relationships in such a way that bringing up children and caring for relatives in need of care can be reconciled with the performance of official duties. To ensure this, service agreements on flexitime and teleworking have been concluded.
