Work, Economics, Technology - Teacher Education Academic Secondary Education [Gymnasium] Universities in Germany (2026/27)

Work, Economics, and Technology—also known as Economics, Technology, and Home Economics, Economics and Technology, or similar names depending on the state—is a practical subject that prepares students for key areas of life: the world of work, economic activity, and technical contexts. As a teacher of this subject, you don't teach abstract theories, but rather knowledge that is relevant to everyday life: How does the economy work? What rights and obligations do I have as an employee or consumer?
