Agnes Wojtacki studied social sciences as well as sociology and empirical social research. After working as a research assistant at GESIS - Leibniz Institute for Social Sciences and at the Dean's Office of the Medical Faculty of the University of Cologne, she took over the leadership of the Competence Center for Women & Occupation Region Cologne in October 2019. Here, together with her team, she develops projects to support small and medium-sized enterprises in order to counteract the shortage of skilled workers. Workshops, seminars and events in different formats give impetus to topics such as work-life balance, female recruiting and flexible working hours as important factors in employer branding. Competentia Region Cologne also networks companies with regional labour market players, provides individual advice on aspects of life-phase-oriented personnel policy, and provides mentoring for the professional integration of qualified refugee women in small and medium-sized companies.

She currently works in a completely different area and manages an outpatient care service in a family business. Here she is gaining valuable entrepreneurial experience.
