Deutsche Telekom prioritizes expert growth

Our workforce’s in-depth expertise and future-centric skills are a vital company resource and pivotal to our business success. Deutsche Telekom prioritizes the promotion of future-proof digital skills. In 2023, we reiterated our commitment to improving employability by offering our Explorer Journeys – intensive programs focusing on up-and-coming innovation areas. More than 8,200 employees attended these digital training events lasting several weeks, covering topics such as generative AI, data analytics and data visualization, machine learning, and software development. Alongside the established Explorer Journeys aimed at comprehensively improving our organization’s skills in the field of generative AI and promoting understanding of the associated opportunities, tools, and applications, Deutsche Telekom has also launched a series of learning initiatives and campaigns. These include a self-enabling channel and digital promptathon workshops aimed at more than 60,000 users across the entire organization. The Group has also established academies for the continuous development of digital experts focusing on areas such as software engineering, DevOps, artificial intelligence, and data analytics. In 2023, 1,961 employees completed a specialist training course in our Technology and Innovation department alone. At T‑Systems, we established 4,597 future skills, further underscoring our commitment to strengthening the workforce. Deutsche Telekom is aware of its responsibility to foster a supportive environment for the transformation of skills, particularly given the anticipated escalating demand for digital expertise over the next few years.
