Abstract: Considering the complex challenges with which works councils are faced, building up specialised knowledge through specific qualifications has become more essential than ever, especially in the context of increasing digitalisation. However, despite explicit legal regulations in the Works Constitution Act, adequate qualification is not always guaranteed. There are various reasons, ranging from compatibility issues between the activities of the works council and vocational requirements, inadequate exemption thresholds, employers hampering the works councils, to restrictions due to family responsibilities of the individual works council member. This article identifies favourable and obstructing factors for the participation of works council members in training seminars by analysing a representative survey comprising more than 8,000 interviews.
