What Carl-Severing-Berufskolleg für Wirtschaft und Verwaltung does

Carl-Severing-Berufskolleg für Wirtschaft und Verwaltung der Stadt Bielefeld (CSBWV) is a public vocational school (Berufskolleg) operated by the City of Bielefeld under the North Rhine-Westphalia state education system. It delivers two principal program lines: full-time education (Vollzeitbildung) covering the Berufliches Gymnasium für Informatik, Wirtschaftsgymnasium, Höhere Handelsschule, Berufsfachschule Typ I and II, and an Internationale Förderklasse; and dual vocational training (Berufsschule) spanning ten commercial and administrative occupations including Automobilkaufleute, Fachkräfte für Schutz und Sicherheit, Kaufleute für Büromanagement, Dialogmarketing, Digitalisierungsmanagement, Einzelhandel, IT-Systemmanagement, Marketingkommunikation, Medienkaufleute Digital und Print, and Tourismuskaufleute. The school also runs supplemental qualification tracks — Microsoft Dynamics NAV ERP certification (three-module curriculum), KMK foreign language certificates, Doppelqualifizierung, Erasmus+ international internships (Auslandspraktikum), and student enterprises JUNGKÖPFE eSG and BiGreen eSG.

The institution's operating technology stack is conventional administrative and educational software: Microsoft Dynamics NAV (Navision) as the ERP training platform, Microsoft Bookings for parent-teacher conference scheduling, and WebUntis for substitution planning (Vertretungsplan). Distribution is regional, with two Bielefeld campuses (Bleichstraße 12 as the main site housing the Schulbüro, and Grasmückenweg 11 as the secondary location) and direct enrollment through the school's website, the school office, and recurring information evenings. Marketing runs through a website hub plus active Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, and TikTok channels.

CSBWV does not charge tuition; revenue (in the form of operating budget) is funded through municipal and state government education allocations. The school is governed by the Bielefeld Schulamt under Oberbürgermeister Pit Clausen and led by Oberstudiendirektor Marco Grahl-Marniok alongside Studiendirektor Marcus Fredebeul and Studiendirektor Bernd Vössing. Strategic positioning emphasizes digital and sustainability competencies, with participation in the Talentschule talent-development pilot and the BiSS-Akademie NRW language-education transfer network.
