Areas of Application

HauswirtschaftHousekeepers are responsible for the domestic care of persons in private households, in social institutions and companies as well as in farm households. They focus on these tasks.
Preparation of food, cleaning the building and laundry, providing for cosy and creative design of living and recreation areas, care for ill persons, elderly persons and children as well as catering for guests or providing guidance to older persons for living independently are some of the possible fields of work. Housekeepers have to act in an economical and at the same time environmentally compatible manner and be capable of handling and applying modern technology. The place of work may be private households, day care centres, convalescent homes, hospitals, farms as well as institutions for the elderly, youth, children and disabled persons. The catering and care of guests at youth hostels, hotels and at conferences also require well trained personnel.

Vocational Skills

HauswirtschaftHousekeepers are characterized by an enjoyment in dealing with people and working in a household as well as organizational talent. A capacity for understanding others, sociability and technical understanding are further core qualifications.
They act independently in a personoriented manner while always keeping the economic framework in mind. At Euro-BBW home economics management is incorporated into the training so the training groups are in charge of and perform all household tasks within the institution. Besides a training kitchen with modern equipment, an institutional laundry operation as well as state-of-the-art cleaning equipment are available. In addition, during the three-year training numerous periods of work experience take place with special focus on work involving the care of children, the elderly and ill persons.
