What guides us and how we take responsibility in education.
we are ibu
Empowering people. Opening up opportunities.
ibu gmbh stands for practical education, individual support and sustainable integration into work and society. As an experienced education provider, we develop programmes that empower people, support businesses and strengthen regional structures over the long term.
We aim to do more than share knowledge: we open up opportunities with tailored, practical solutions that reflect our participants' individual circumstances.
Integration through skills and support.
Our mission and the principles guiding our work
Successful learning is the standard and goal of our work.
Successful learning
Successful learning means our learners gain new knowledge and skills and refresh what they already know.
Successful learning means our learners learn together and take an active part in the process. Successful learning involves engaging with oneself and one's surroundings every day, using those experiences to develop different ways of acting in everyday life and thereby expanding one's ability to navigate life.
Successful learning from our teachers' perspective means using our strong learning infrastructure to build on learners' expectations and experiences and agree individual learning goals with them.
Successful learning means our learners develop further and are encouraged to pursue lifelong learning and continuing education.

our building & our history
A building with history. A place for the future.
Our main site is the Technikum in Neustadt-Glewe. This distinctive brick building is home to our education work, combining the character of our building with a forward-looking approach.
Founded more than three decades ago, ibu gmbh has established itself as a reliable vocational training partner. Today, we do more than provide education: we support people throughout their journey, from their first course to successfully entering employment.
More about our education and integration work
Our education programmes include tailored partial qualifications in agriculture, retail, the food industry and logistics. These are complemented by specialist continuing training such as forklift certification, leadership training and professional guardian training. All aim to strengthen our participants' long-term employability.
Supporting unaccompanied children and young people from abroad is a particular focus of our work. Our residential home provides a safe place to live and comprehensive educational, social and vocational support, promoting independence and integration.
Through regional and cross-regional projects, we also develop tailored approaches, connect people, businesses and organisations, and help ensure our education and integration work has a lasting impact.

We, the staff of ibu gmbh, are committed to making vocational education sustainable. Our aim is to develop education programmes that respond to long-term environmental, economic and social challenges.
- Protecting the environment and conserving resources
- Strengthening participation and social justice
- Embedding sustainable action in practice
How we put sustainability into everyday practice
We take the following aspects into account:
- Integrating sustainability into curricula through topics such as environmental protection, animal welfare, resource efficiency and social justice, strengthening learners' awareness and skills.
- Designing and delivering practical education programmes so learners can apply sustainable practices directly in the workplace.
- Reducing our environmental footprint through:
- Using digital learning platforms and apps to assess learning progress
- Reducing the use of physical teaching materials
- Reducing travel: instead of learners travelling to us, teachers visit them at their workplace
- Saving energy and using renewable energy
