What IHK-Projektgesellschaft mbH Ostbrandenburg does

IHK-Projektgesellschaft mbH Ostbrandenburg is a 100% subsidiary of IHK Ostbrandenburg, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Frankfurt (Oder), Germany. It operates as the certified education and service arm of the regional Chamber of Industry and Commerce, delivering vocational training, professional development, and labor-market integration services across East Brandenburg. The company offers nearly 100 IHK-recognized qualifications spanning three formal tiers — Geprüfter Berufsspezialist, Bachelor Professional, and Master Professional — covering areas such as Fachwirt, Betriebswirt, Ausbildereignung (AEVO), and Technischer Betriebswirt. Delivery is hybrid, anchored by two Bildungszentren in Frankfurt (Oder) and Eberswalde, supplemented by 11 operational locations and the IHK-Online-Akademie digital platform.

The company's underlying technology stack centers on the IHK-Online-Akademie for blended learning and incorporates VR/AI-based simulation modules for immersive training scenarios. In 2026, four new credentials were added: KI-Manager, KI-Beauftragter, KI-Scout, and Green Solutions Expert, signaling a deliberate pivot toward AI governance and sustainability curriculum. Strategic partnerships include Stiftung Kinder forschen (early STEM education), the federal IQ Netzwerk for integration of international skilled workers, KI Academy (Mauritz & Walter GbR) for AI content, and the Polish partner ZIPH for cross-border dual training under the GoGreen INTERREG VI A project.

The business model derives revenue from three primary streams: (1) course fees across a price ladder from €45 (single workshops) to €4,400 (Technischer Betriebswirt); (2) in-house corporate training for regional SMEs; and (3) EU, federal, and state-funded project contracts, including the GoGreen INTERREG project (€935K of €1.17M total) and ongoing IQ Netzwerk funding. Customer segments are diversified across individual learners, regional SMEs, vocational schools, and international skilled workers. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer combined with sales-led corporate outreach, community events, and event-driven enrollment campaigns. The company is led by Managing Director Sandy Morgen (since 2015) and maintains ISO 9001 certification through TÜV SÜD.
