Common effort: Aachen region wants to defeat a shortage of skilled workers!

The Aachen Region faces a major challenge: the lack of specialists and workers grows. The Aachen Zweckverband (RAZV) has therefore initiated a groundbreaking cooperation with representatives of various business clusters in order to meet the challenges together. Ulla Thönnissen, Managing Director of the RAZV, praises the strong shoulder of business, science and administration and emphasizes: "Together we are more powerful, louder and more effective."

The new cooperation agreement combines important regional clusters such as the Aachen Building Experts, Digital Hub Aachen and Eifel Tourismus GmbH, which together represent over 1000 companies. The aim is to present the advantages of the region as part of a common skilled worker campaign and increase visibility in order to keep young talents. Oliver Grün, CEO of the Digital Hub Aachen, calls for a targeted address of specialists and reminds that 159,000 jobs are vacant nationwide alone. "This cooperation will jointly bear the radiance of our economic area," says Edwin Büchter from Laser-Region-Aachen. The regional alliance aims to secure the economic performance of the region and to conduct an effective fight against the shortage of skilled workers, reports the Aachener Zeitung .
