Service

Our management processes are particularly citizen- and business friendly.All counties and many cities and municipalities in the region are awarded with the service certificate "Kommunale Kompetenz" which certifies an efficient and quick handling of all issues. The certification confirms the extraordinary quality awareness of the public administration, which is understood to be a partner for the local economy and wants to comply with every request. Thus, for example, guarantees a quick processing of building applications.

Youth development programmes

Education is our future. To succeed in the long run the region needs to have best professionals from engineering and economics. Therefore the Northern Black Forest invests on a large scale in youth and individual, extra-curricular education. The focus is on the development of skills instead of factual knowledge.
The following projects are some examples from the extensive promotional activities in the region:
  • Youth Research Centre Nagold:
    Boys and girls together experiment and fiddle around with teachers and scientists in the fields of engineering, chemistry, physics.
  • Nordschwarzwald-Cup:
    A business simulation that has a unique way of joining together apprentices and pupils in mixed teams. Together they gain practical management experience.
  • ObenAuf:
