Tomorrow's craftsmanship: High graduate quota inspires in Coesfeld

The Coesfeld district craftsmen recently celebrated an important milestone in craft training. At the lottery ceremony, over 100 freshly baked journeyman and society were officially adopted into their new profession. The managing director Ulrich Müller performed his tasks with flying colors and emphasized the high graduate rate of 31 women, which is particularly remarkable in this examination round.

The ceremony took place in a festive framework in which the graduates were received with great applause. In his speech, Müller paid tribute to the young craftsmen as the "craftsmanship of tomorrow". He emphasized the invaluable value of dual vocational training, which not only gave the test subjects theoretical knowledge but also practical knowledge of action. This concept allows the trainees to gain experience in real professional life and to assert themselves during training.

the value of the volunteer

Another central point of Müller's address was the recognition of the volunteering office, which largely contributes to the success of the exams. The keynote speaker, Marc Henrichmann, CDU member of the Bundestag, was invited to give an insight into the political challenges with which craft businesses are confronted. Müller appealed to him to work for more stable economic framework conditions. This concern was the need for reliability and relief for the companies in order to promote positive development in the craft.

Henrichmann took this call seriously and emphasized that politics should not regulate everything, but had to leave the companies a creative space. He pointed out that performance should be rewarded and praised the event as a positive example. Sustainability and generation thinking are essential for success, while the regional craft is the basis for innovative impulses that have to support a positive development.

an occasion to celebrate

The celebration of the lottery did not end with the official part, but continued with a happy ball in Café Böll. The journeyman and their guests had the opportunity to celebrate their successes and to enjoy the memories of the skills they have learned and the time experienced together. The open conclusion of the evening reflected the joy and pride that the graduates feel according to a successful training path.

craft as a future industry

The events related to the lottery celebration show how important the craft is for the economic future. The profession of journeyman is not only a tangible basis for future generations. Especially in times of weak economy, as Henrichmann noted, companies rely on committed and well -trained specialists who have grown the challenges of the market. The young fellows have shown that they are ready to integrate into the professional world and make an important contribution to society.

The importance of dual training has increased significantly in recent years, especially in the context of the craft. According to the Federal Institute for Vocational Training (BIBB), this form of training proves to be particularly efficient because it combines theory and practice. This is also evident in the number of employment; Many graduates of dual training quickly find a job in their learned profession. In 2022, the unemployment rate among the slowly graduates was only 6.5 %, which was significantly below the general average. These numbers underpin the need to continue to promote dual training and to make it attractive in order to cover the need for skilled workers in Germany.

A central aspect of dual training is the regional craft businesses that play an important role in qualifying young people. These companies not only benefit from the introduction of fresh ideas and new perspectives by the trainees, but also rely on the development of specialists in order to secure their own continued existence. The Coesfeld district craftsmanship contributes to this with its work by promoting the cooperation between schools and companies and actively participating in the further development of training standards. This not only strengthens the local economy, but also society in general.

The influence of politics and business

Political support is crucial for the stability and development of the craft. Initiatives such as the Meister-BaföG or investment grants are examples of measures that aim to improve the framework conditions for craft businesses. The challenges that the craft faces are diverse. This includes the shortage of skilled workers, rising material prices and the need for digitization. A consciously setting of political guardrails can help to support the craft businesses on their way to the future. The declared goal must be to find a balance between regulation and freedom for companies in order not to inhibit their innovative strength.

In the discussion about the future development of the craft, the topic of sustainability has also become increasingly important. The young fellows have the opportunity not only to work in traditional professions, but also to develop innovative, sustainable solutions. Companies that switch to ecological practices can stand out from the competition and at the same time make a contribution to the environment. In this context, cooperations between schools, companies and political institutions are necessary in order to create an educational path that prepares the coming generations for the requirements of a changing market.
