Voluntary examiners: Key to securing skilled workers in the Ennepe-Ruhr district!

Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis-A crucial moment for the professional future: At the end of every training or study, the examination that decides on the successful completion is. In initial vocational training, it is volunteer examiners who take on this important task. The South Westphalian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Hagen (SIHK) describes these committed helpers as "honorary people". Your role is indispensable because you make a significant contribution to quality assurance of vocational training.

With the new #ehrenmensch campaign, the SIHK wants to put the importance of this volunteers in the foreground and at the same time win new volunteers. "We have already won 113 people, but we urgently need more," emphasizes Thomas Haensel, the head of business 'people form' at the SIHK. Around 7,000 exams have to be taken annually, and the volunteer examiners are crucial for securing skilled workers in the Region. Your task includes written, oral and practical exams, whereby the examination committees consist of representatives of employers, employees and teachers to ensure a well -founded evaluation.

The importance of the examiners

Regina Pfeif, examination clerk of the SIHK, sums it up: "I could not judge whether a truck is properly loaded or would overturn in the next curve." The expertise of the examiners is of great importance, especially in professions with a high practical need for experience. These examiners are not only experts, but also mentors for the often nervous test subjects on one of the most important days of their lives. Their empathy helps the trainees to win the necessary security.

The SIHK calls all interested parties to find out more about the #ehrenmensch campaign and become part of this important task. The high quality of vocational training in the region can still be guaranteed only with sufficient committed examiners.
