Working Together to Empower Future Generations
Together with you, we want to equip future generations with the skills they need to lead fulfilling and engaged lives and to help address the social challenges of today and tomorrow.
Our partners value:
- Our structured framework—tried and tested for 70 years—for the personal development, realization of potential, and assumption of responsibility among teenagers, trainees, and young professionals
- Support for an impact-driven social enterprise that specifically promotes the employability, and thus the life prospects, of young people at risk of not completing their education
- The Award as a seal of approval for the presence of so-called “Future Skills” and “Human Skills” in the recruitment of skilled workers
- A highly regarded international network with a global alumni and emerging leaders network, as well as a World Fellowship Program
- Our opportunity for employees to engage in corporate volunteering to have a lasting, positive impact on the lives of individual young people and to gain insight into other ways of life
- Our commitment to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the Sustainable Development Goals
“If a few of the thousands of applications for the few training places that we receive at the FU Berlin each year contain an award such as the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award or other evidence that confirms teamwork, perseverance and extracurricular commitment, these applications already stand out from the multitude of applications and gain a special look that greatly promotes and favors the likelihood of being invited for an interview.”
– Gilda A. Langkau, FU Berlin Office of the President, CIO
Become a Strategic Partner
As a Strategic Partner, you provide us with financial support through a donation commitment of at least three years.
We use your donation to prepare young people as best as possible for their future, so that they have better opportunities for vocational training and careers, thereby helping to address the shortage of skilled workers in Germany.
At the same time, we foster the ability and willingness of adolescents and young adults to engage with our society and take on responsibility. In this way, we strengthen social cohesion in Germany in a sustainable manner.
Align your CSR strategy with the Duke Program. We’d love to talk with you!
Become a Program Provider
Of course, companies can also become Duke Award program providers to support the personal development of trainees and young professionals. This allows you to build a sustainable talent acquisition strategy, foster leadership, and provide your employees with a growth-oriented environment where they can excel.
