Fire Safety in Focus: Smoke Detector Day

Friday, December 13, 2024, was the annual Smoke Detector Day – an event that draws attention to the importance of working smoke detectors. What is often regarded as an unlucky day is to be turned into a lucky day through preventative measures.
Thirty years ago, there were more than twice as many fire deaths as there are today. This decline is mainly due to the gradual introduction of mandatory smoke alarms in the individual federal states, which were implemented independently of each other. Hesse made the start in 2005, and Berlin finally introduced the obligation in 2017. The educational work of the fire department and initiatives such as “Smoke alarms save lives” from 2000 are also making a significant contribution to this.

The ZKI working group “Training” has invited to a joint meeting in Wolfenbüttel from May 14 to 16, 2024. As trainers in the Service and Communication department at the IT Center, we were of course there to exchange ideas with 10 other universities from all over Germany.
We dealt with the following questions, among others:
“How does training work at other universities? What is the recruitment and induction process like? What do modern job interviews look like for us?
