In the district of Euskirchen there is a real boom in climate -relevant professions! The current economic survey of the Aachen Chamber of Crafts shows that roofers, electronics, installers and heating builders are in great demand. More and more homeowners are making their real estate fit for the future and replace outdated heaters. The civil engineering companies also benefit from an order boom, supported by billions in investments in infrastructure projects such as roads, rails and bridges. But the euforical impression is deceptive - an average of 43 percent of the companies surveyed experience declines of sales!

shortage of skilled workers meets high demand

Despite the dark side with falling sales, many companies are fought for the qualified specialists. The Aachen Chamber of Crafts warns: When the BabyBoomer generation is retired, numerous jobs are available, and new career opportunities are waiting for motivated talents. The training numbers are a ray of hope: this year as many students have found an apprenticeship in a chamber company as for a decade. A sign of the growing encouragement and the increasing relevance of craftsmanship with a focus on sustainability!
