Trainees in Rosenheim: Dr. Trainee helps more than 1,700 young talents!

In Rosenheim, the doors to digital support are open to around 1,750 trainees. With the online service “Dr. Azubi” from the German Federation of Trade Unions (DGB), young people have the opportunity to clarify questions and discuss problems that arise during their training. The district chairman of IG BAU Oberbayern, Harald Wulf, highlights the advantages of this platform and points out the “24/7 consultation hours” that are available at all times. The service can be accessed at www.dr-azubi.de.

For many young people in Rosenheim who are just starting their professional lives, the new training can be a challenge. Wulf explains that topics such as the appropriateness of training remuneration, overtime, vacation entitlements and health risks are regularly on the agenda. Trainees can also have their contracts checked by the union to ensure that everything is correct.

Support during training

In many cases, a permanent contact person is the works council, which plays an important role when problems arise in the company. Wulf emphasizes the need for discussions with superiors, especially if tasks are assigned that do not correspond to the training content. Many trainees often don't know where to start, and this is where the service comes in.

But it's not just support during training that plays a role, choosing the right career is also crucial. If you look around, you will see that there are numerous apprenticeships in different industries. Contact points such as bildung.de list a variety of professions and training programs, from technical professions to creative jobs.

Career choice and financial support

For trainees who are perhaps still undecided about which direction they want to take, there are various filter options based on educational qualifications. These include, among other things, high school diploma, technical college diploma or even secondary school leaving certificate. Popular professions include plant mechanic, geriatric care assistant and many more. The careers listed are broad and offer numerous opportunities for every interest.

Another topic that often comes up is financial support during training. Support is available through BAföG or the vocational training aid (BAB). Among other things, the costs of rent during the training period are also discussed. These can be relatively high, particularly in urban areas. Wulf and the employment agency recommend building up a financial cushion before training begins in order to be able to cover unexpected expenses.

Accommodations such as youth and student dormitories are often cost-effective alternatives. Looking for your own apartment can quickly become expensive, so it is advisable to look for adequate accommodation in good time. If you cannot do this yourself, you should seek the support of your training company.

Overall, it turns out that the transition from school to working life is an exciting but also challenging time for many people. However, with the right service and support, this step can be made much easier.
