What Robert-Bosch-Berufskolleg Duisburg does

Robert-Bosch-Berufskolleg Duisburg (legal name: Robert-Bosch-Berufskolleg – Städtische Schule der Sekundarstufe II und Fachschule) is a public municipal vocational school (Städtische Schule) operated by the City of Duisburg under the Schulamt authority, located at August-Thyssen-Str. 45, 47166 Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The institution serves approximately 2,000 students with more than 80 teaching staff, offering technical education across six program categories: vocational preparation (Ausbildungsvorbereitung HSA 9), one-year Berufsfachschule (HSA 10/FOR), two-year Höhere Berufsfachschule with Fachhochschulreife, dual-system Berufsschule Elektrotechnik and Metalltechnik, and Fachschule für Technik (Maschinenbautechnik/Werkstofftechnik) leading to Staatlich geprüfte Techniker with Bachelor Professional in Technik designation. The school's specialization in Metalltechnik/Maschinenbautechnik and Elektrotechnik aligns with Duisburg's industrial heritage in steel and logistics, and its curriculum now incorporates hydrogen technology training aligned with the regional green steel transition.

The institution operates modern technical facilities including CAD and CNC laboratories, materials testing labs, control technology labs, and an E-Technology laboratory for hands-on vocational training. Its technology stack is conventional educational and industrial training equipment rather than proprietary software platforms. The business model is entirely publicly funded: the school receives budget allocations from the City of Duisburg and the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, with all programs tuition-free for students. Supplementary revenue or in-kind support comes from the Förderverein (support association), donations such as those from Fasel-Stiftung and Van Leeuwen Pipe and Tube Group, and REACT-EU Fördermittel. The school partners with regional industrial employers (ArcelorMittal, thyssenkrupp, Emschergenossenschaft, HKM) for dual-training apprenticeships and participates in Erasmus+ as a Pilotschule in Euregio cross-border education projects spanning 12+ European countries plus USA, UK, and Kosovo. Leadership is headed by Schulleiterin Simone Peeters (OStD'in), with four department heads overseeing Metal Technology, Electrical Technology, Technical Schools, and Vocational Preparation divisions.
