Thomas Dörflinger: insights into the challenges of the region through internships

Thomas Dörflinger, member of the state parliament, has enriched his summer tour through the constituency with numerous internships and company visits. The use of various institutions and companies gives him the opportunity to experience the challenges and opportunities of the regional economy directly on site. At a time when the needs and worries of the citizens are increasingly in focus, it is of great importance to develop a sense of reality that its voters experience every day.

In the "Villa Regenbogen" in Burgrieden, Dörflinger experienced up close, which it means to work in the so-called education sector. Together with the small craftsmen, he produced wooden seat groups, which not only demanded craftsmanship, but also teamwork. During a subsequent conversation with the kindergarten manager Nadine Kübler and Mayor Frank Högerle, the current situation of the day care centers was on the agenda. The challenges with which the facilities are confronted were clearly addressed.

Operating visit to the automotive industry

The internship in the Benz Autocenter in Biberach brought Dörflinger to the world of vehicle technology. Under the guidance of a workshop master, he was able to work on specific work such as the error diagnosis and the oil change. Managing Director Frank Benz reported that customers are currently hesitant when purchasing electric cars and prefers to use the combustion engine. This raises questions: How can politics and industry work to work with each other in order to create change into more sustainable mobility? Dörflinger emphasized that political openness is needed for various technologies to meet the needs of customers.

In the Bad Schussenrieder Brewery Ott, Dörflinger received an introduction to the beer brewing process. From the malt grain to the brewing kettle to the finished product, he got to know the many work steps that are necessary for beer production. Brewer Oliver Kurth explained the challenges that arise from the generally declining beer consumption. The Ott family goes to the challenges with passion and joy of innovation and tries to combine traditional trends.

insight into the care industry

Dörflinger's experience in the Josefspark senior center in Eberhardzell was particularly impressive. Here he accompanied the staff in the care of older people. Dörflinger expressed great respect for the committed work of the nursing staff who take care of the health and well -being of the elderly. In a conversation with the managing director Hansjörg EBE, important topics such as the future of care and the persistent problems in the recruitment of specialists were addressed.

In addition to the internships, Dörflinger also carried out various operating visits. Together with those responsible for Vollmer Werke Maschinenfabrik GmbH and EFAG GmbH & Co. KG, he found which innovations and solutions implement companies despite existing challenges. It became clear that medium -sized companies find their place in the region and adapt, which speaks for a strong economic basis.

Through its summer tour, which combined both practicable experiences and insights into a wide variety of fields of work, Thomas Dörflinger was able to gain valuable impressions that are of great importance for his political work. His goal of wearing the challenges and needs experienced in the political arena is obviously more than just a lip service, but a real drive.

a bridge between theory and practice

The exchange with the local people brings the potential to develop solutions for future challenges. Dörflinger is striving to incorporate the experiences gained into his everyday political life and to work even more specifically for the interests of the citizens in the future. Direct contact with the different industries not only strengthens his understanding, but also forms a valuable basis for making politically informed decisions. In a dynamic and constantly changing world, understanding of local conditions and individual needs is essential to shape future -oriented politics.

insights into the challenges of the nursing industry

The internship of Thomas Dörflinger in the Josefspark senior center illuminates the current challenges in the nursing industry, which are now also socially highly topical. The nursing industry fights with an acute shortage of skilled workers, which not only entails for the facilities, but especially for the patients and their relatives. According to a study by the German Economy Institute (IW), around 200,000 nurses were missing in Germany in 2021. This number could continue to increase in the next few years, since the need increases due to the aging population. A comprehensive political debate is necessary here to find adequate solutions and to improve working conditions.

The craft and the automotive industry in change

The internship at AutoCenter Benz illustrates the current challenges of the automotive industry, especially with regard to the switch to electromobility. The sales of electric cars have increased, but many customers show concerns about the lifespan and reliability of the latest technologies. Statistics of the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA) show that in 2022 only 21 % of the newly approved vehicles were electrical. These setbacks in saving CO2 emissions must be supported by open-minded political framework conditions that promote the diversification of the drive technologies. Companies and consumers need both support and clarification to reduce prejudices against electric vehicles.

Development in the brewing industry

In the brewing industry, the trend towards a healthy and conscious consumption is reflected, which is reinforced through the declining beer sales throughout Germany. Data from the German Brewer Federation show that the per capita consumption of beer in Germany fell from 107 liters in 2010 to about 99 liters in 2022. The Ott brewery reacts to this trend with innovative products and a focus on quality and regionality, which is increasingly in demand in today's beverage world. Change in consumption habits requires breweries to adapt their marketing strategies and product lines to remain competitive.

political importance of internships in youth

The experiences created by Dörflinger's internships in the context of political work are of fundamental importance. Political decision -makers who immerse themselves in various industries can develop a deep understanding of the everyday challenges and needs of citizens. Such approaches promote a stronger proximity to the citizens and help to make political measures more targeted and effective. In many countries there are already programs that give politicians access to various professional fields in order to incorporate this knowledge of their legislative work.
