Manager in the lab - and now?

The German Association of Independent Testing Laboratories (VUP) is launching an association-based mentoring programme for young managers in the private laboratory sector. The VUP "Next Generation" programme will kick off in June at the VUP Annual Conference 2023. The kick-off event is already fully booked, but interested parties may be able to join the programme at a later date.

With the Next Generation programme, the association aims to specifically promote the personal development and exchange of experience of young managers in the private laboratory industry from summer 2023. A website for the VUP Next Generation programme states: "We in the association believe in the power of exchanging experiences and networking across companies. That is why we want to offer young up-and-coming managers in the industry a new platform for their personal success. By means of peer counselling, a group of young colleagues will be able to learn from each other and build up their own network, both among themselves and within the association.“

For the Next Generation programme, the association was able to recruit Lars Ahrendt, who has many years of management experience in a laboratory company and in the association. In his current position as Managing Partner of PE Solution, a medium-sized consultancy firm with expertise in organisational and leadership development, he is now available to the VUP as a coach. Hubert Fels and Dr Erhard Kirchhoff, two other experienced managers from the laboratory industry, will also accompany the programme as mentors. According to VUP, they will provide support in designing the topics and programme, but will also contribute their wealth of experience as successful business leaders and laboratory entrepreneurs.

The official kick-off will take place at a forum „VUP Next Generation“, which will be held as part of the VUP Annual Conference 2023 on 16 June 2023 from 10.30 am to 1.30 pm in Berlin. Getting to know each other and exchanging experiences are planned as part of an initial training session with Lars Ahrendt.

Kick-off event already fully booked, later participation in the programme possible
The forum „VUP Next Generation“ is meeting with great interest. The kick-off event is already fully booked.

For all interested parties who were unable to secure one of the coveted places at the kick-off event in Berlin, there is still the opportunity to join the ongoing programme at a later date. Expressions of interest can still be sent to the association by email.
