AI Manager Programme
The Hamburg Media School offers a training program on artificial intelligence that provides practical preparation for implementing AI in businesses. In several modules, experts share strategic, technical, and ethical knowledge related to AI.
The page was very helpful and gave me useful ideas, especially for how to structure the workshops and choose relevant topics. It also helped with finding speakers; I included some of them in my own program.
Professional and well thought out page.

Recruiting Coaching
Since late 2023, “Recruiting Coaching” is part of Hamburg Music Business’s Fachkräfteprogramm, designed to help small and medium-sized music companies in Hamburg. It offers coaching and training to improve hiring and employee retention skills in the industry.
Since Hamburg Music had already developed a similar coaching program in another area, this experience was helpful in designing the new program. It provided insights into possible structures and highlighted key lessons learned.
Practical and not just theoretical.
