Training numbers in the Rems-Murr district: decline despite vacancies!

In the Rems-Murr district, the start of a new professional future began for many young people on September 1, 2025. A total of 1,172 trainees have taken up IHK training. Unfortunately, we have to report that this represents a decrease of 8.4 percent compared to the previous year. There are many reasons for this: too few applications from suitable candidates and a reduction in training offers by some companies due to the current economic situation play an important role Stuttgart News reported.

There are currently over 800 vacant training positions in the Rems-Murr district registered with the employment agency. The need for young skilled workers remains unbroken, and training numbers are expected to recover by the end of the year. When it comes to the most sought-after professions, the ones that stand out are salespeople, retail clerks and mechatronics engineers.

Diverse educational offerings in the Rems-Murr district

The Rems-Murr district offers a wide range of school training courses. These include, among others:

  • Berufsfachschule für Kinderpflege: Diese vermittelt Fertigkeiten für die Betreuung von Kindern unter 10 Jahren, einschließlich eines berufsbezogenen Praktikums nach zwei Jahren Schulzeit.
  • Berufskolleg für Praktikantinnen und Praktikanten: Dieser dreistufige Ausbildungsgang führt zur Erzieherin/zum Erzieher.
  • Fachschule für Sozialpädagogik: Die Ausbildung zur Erzieherin/zum Erzieher dauert zwei Jahre, gefolgt von einem Anerkennungspraktikum.
  • Berufsfachschule für Altenpflege: Ein dreijähriger Ausbildungsgang zum Staatlich geprüften Altenpfleger.

Each of these educational offers aims to prepare participants for their future careers in a practical way and to provide a solid foundation. This is particularly important when you consider that over 73,000 training positions in Germany will remain unfilled in 2023 - often due to unsuitable applications, such as Statista determines.

The training offering has diversified further in the past year, which increases the chances of all school leavers finding a suitable place. It should be particularly emphasized that we in the Rems-Murr district are also doing our best to overcome this challenge and to promote training numbers through targeted measures.
