Pro Zukunft

What Pro Zukunft does

Pro Zukunft Aus- und Weiterbildung e.K. is a privately held vocational training and continuing education provider registered as a German sole proprietorship (Einzelkaufmann, HRA 3895) and headquartered at Kalsmuntstr. 14, Wetzlar, in the Lahn-Dill area of Hessen. The company delivers dual-track services: practical vocational training (Ausbildung) for apprentices in industrial metal trades, electrical trades, and mechatronics, and IHK-certified continuing education (Weiterbildung) programs including Industriemeister, Technischer Fachwirt, and Technischer Betriebswirt, plus specialized short courses in soldering, SPS/PLC programming, adhesive bonding (Kleben/EAS), CNC turning, and Elektrofachkraft qualifications. Service delivery combines in-person instruction at an on-site training workshop (Ausbildungswerkstatt) with a Moodle-based online learning platform (moodle.pro-zukunft.de) that hosts course materials, video content, practice exercises, and IHK exam preparation. Owner Ines Kunz acts as managing director and primary contact; Hermann Hagner is also associated with platform administration.

The business model is predominantly fee-for-service training: companies and individual trainees pay per course or module, with most pricing provided on request and limited public price points (EUR 40 plus VAT for 4-week online AdA access; EUR 10.50 plus VAT for CNC training material). Minimum participant thresholds (typically 5-6 per cohort) and IHK examination alignment structure the offering. GTM is sales-led and relationship-driven: direct outreach via phone, email, and the company website, supplemented by referrals through the IHK Lahn-Dill chamber network and partner employers in the regional industrial corridor. The company operates only within Hessen, has no parent, subsidiaries, external investors, or funding rounds disclosed, and reports approximately 7 employees with no social media channels beyond a Facebook page operated by a third-party website provider.
