Participants

The group of participants consists of employees in archives or archive-like institutions without job-related qualifications. As a rule, the prerequisite for admission is two and a half years of work in an archive or archive-like institution.

The offer is particularly aimed at employees of municipal administrations who have been entrusted with tasks in the archive (e.g. as administrative assistants) without having a special qualification in this area.
