Apprenticeship casting in Wolfsberg: Talents meet employers!

In the Kuss Wolfsberg, this year's Apprentice casting of the WK Carinthia took place, which was organized for the third time. More than 30 training companies presented over 200 students and offered the opportunity to gain insights into 38 professional fields in around 550 conversations. Gerhard Oswald, chairman of the Wolfsberg district office, emphasized the central role of this initiative: "The apprenticeship casting is a central component to find the specialists of tomorrow in Area Süd." Companies such as Anton Pair Shapetec and the Raiffeisen Lagerhaus Lavanttal emphasized the structured process and the valuable exchange with the students, which contributes to the effective recruitment of young talent.

The event not only promoted the dialogue between young people and companies, but also offered a clear advantage over traditional apprenticeship fairs, since the conversations could be organized and organized in advance. "The speed dating character enables a structured and valuable exchange," said Christine Grohs from the Raiffeisen Lagerhaus Lavanttal. The companies presented themselves as ideal contact points for trial days, internships and apprenticeships.

increasing demand for apprentices

with currently 185 open apprenticeships in the Wolfsberg district, which corresponds to an increase of 30 % compared to the previous year, and 93 immediately available places, there is a lively need for committed young people. At the same time, only 24 young people are actively looking for an apprenticeship, whereby this number has remained stable. The demand focuses on technical, commercial and craft professions. A total of 809 young people are currently in apprenticeship training. The apprentice casting has thus established itself as a valuable platform to bring together supply and demand in the field of training efficiently, such as wko.at . The pupils expressed themselves consistently about the possibility of gaining direct insights into different professions and gaining valuable experiences for their professional future.
