The InnoVET PLUS NaTuL project aims to strengthen sustainability skills in the transport and logistics sector in the long term – taking into account environmental, economic and social sustainability. To this end, an innovative IHK certificate course is being developed for commercial apprentices in the field of transport logistics. This project is being implemented by the Department of Vocational and Business Education (BWP) and the Chair of Sustainability and Supply Chain Management (SSCM) in co-operation with the Centre for Lifelong Learning (C3L), the Berlin-based game developer Beyond Bites and the Oldenburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK).

The highlight of the new course: with the help of an AI-supported serious game, the apprentices take over a virtual logistics company and must develop it in a sustainable manner. The game provides a practical insight into how environmental and social aspects can be integrated into daily work processes to make the sector more sustainable in the long term.
