Sports employment
Average number of employed: The calculation of employed persons in the quarter is an average calculation of the number of employed persons per day in the quarter. A person is therefore included in the calculation with the precise number of days in employment. Full-time employees: The number of employees in full-time equivalents at the workplace during the year. The number of employees in full-time equivalents is calculated by setting the hours paid in proportion to the maximum number of hours of paid work during the year with a weekly employment of 37 hours (1,924 hours).
** Sports Education**
The status statement regarding sports education operates with * All students *, * approach * and * completed * (graduates).
All students correspond to the total number of students who applied for the relevant year for the programs concerned.
-
Approach * comes from the Times variable TILG_ART and corresponds to the sum of students included.
-
Education approach
- Educational restart, continuing at the same institution
- Educational restart, continuing at the same institution
Since the professional bachelor's degree program "5761 Leisure management, prof.bach" in 2021 changed to "Event management and, prof.bach.", there has been a transfer of students from one institution to another, which explains the higher number of education approaches in 2021.
- Completed * is based on the TIMES variable AUDD that proves whether the student has completed an education or not. Whether the program is competency-giving or not is not included in the statistics. '4522 Fitness Instructor' corresponds as the only one to a "non-qualifying" vocational education but is nevertheless included in the sum of vocational education, due to the sports relationship.
