As a businessman he saw that graduates were not sufficiently prepared for the labour market. This spurred him to work in the field of secondary vocational education with the goal of motivating students and preparing them for the needs of the labour market. He founded an initiative called Supporting trades, which started an educational project focusing on the preparation of students for the labour market. Subsequently he started other initiatives for the development of secondary education.
In 2016 Branislav Gröhling became an MP of the National Council of the Slovak Republic for the Freedom and Solidarity party. He was a member of the Committee for Education, Science, Youth and Sport and vice-chair of the Mandate and Imunity Committee. In 2017 he became the advisor for education for Juraj Droba, head of the Bratislava self-governing region. There he introduced several changes focusing on the modernization of education and motivational renumeration of secondary schools teachers. He was elected MP for Freedom and Solidarity again in 2020.
