Vibrant Turnout at Lübz's Training and Employment Event
In the bustling town of Lübz, the annual Job and Training Fair took place, drawing in a multitude of enthusiastic attendees seeking their future careers. The event, which has seen an increase in response since last year, offered a wide array of opportunities across various industries.
Among the exhibitors were schools, state institutions, and numerous businesses such as a roofing company, a vehicle workshop, and a carpentry business, all eager to recruit apprentices. The Police University of Applied Sciences in Güstrow was also present, showcasing the exciting opportunities available in their field.
Sebastian Krohn, the chairman of the local trade association, expressed his satisfaction with the positive response from both exhibitors and schools. He noted that some visitors had specific career ideas, while others were still exploring their options.
One such visitor was Leon, a friend of Sven Braun. While Sven was inquiring about an apprenticeship at the stand of the system house Stelia Tec, catering to his affinity for computers, Leon showed an interest in a more technical profession, particularly in the realm of land machine mechatronics. His curiosity extends beyond his desired apprenticeship as an agricultural machinery mechatronics technician, as he also expressed interest in related fields such as mechanical engineering, mechatronics, machine technology, maintenance technician roles, and potentially industries involving the repair and maintenance of construction and agricultural machinery.
However, it was not all smooth sailing. Many applicants at the fair were found not qualified enough, with more than a third failing the German language test alone. This underscores the importance of intensifying the education of students in language skills, as suggested by Mories Zeise, a recruitment consultant. Zeise also mentioned a decrease in the number of interested parties in recent years.
Despite these challenges, the care sector remains in high demand for apprentices, as stated by training manager Jennifer Künkels. The care sector offers a varied activity, direct feedback from people, future-proof prospects, many development and advancement opportunities, and increasingly attractive pay. This makes it an appealing choice for those still deciding on their career paths.
With the success of this year's fair, a repeat seems certain, providing another opportunity for future professionals to discover their calling and take the first steps towards a rewarding career. The professionals from the Federal Employment Agency continue to advise young people to try out different areas through internships to find suitable professions, ensuring that each individual can find their perfect fit.
