Less teaching contracts: Hagen is urgently looking for specialists of the future!

Less teaching contracts: Hagen is urgently looking for specialists of the future!

The current figures for the training market give rise to concern, but the latest reports show that there are also bright spots. On the deadline of September 30, the SIHK found that a total of 2,891 training contracts were concluded in the Hagen region as well as the Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis and the Märkische Kreis. This means a slight decline of almost five percent compared to the previous year, in particular the commercial and technical training sector.

Thomas Haensel, the head of the Sihk business area, expressed himself optimistically about the situation. He emphasized that despite an uncertain economic situation, domestic companies continue to train at a high level in order to gain tomorrow's specialists. However, the challenges are primarily in recruitment: companies receive significantly fewer applications in their advertised positions. Haensel recommends new approaches to recruitment, including the use of social media such as Tikkok and Instagram to address young talents.

opportunities for young people

Especially young people who have not yet been able to find a suitable training position or have demolished their training should not be discouraged. There are currently still excellent opportunities for a later start of the training. The SIHK team for the "tailor -made line -up" is ready to help you find a suitable training position. Interested parties can contact 0 23 31/390-301.

In addition, Haensel advises not only to assess applicants according to their grades. People with weaker school grades in particular should not be excluded from the recruitment process. Here an internship can offer valuable insights, both for applicants and for companies to get to know each other better.

These efforts are particularly important in view of the current market development, as well as localaldirekt.de. The situation shows that a rethink is necessary to meet the requirements of today's training market and to provide companies with the specialists they need.
