Alarm in the Paderborn repair shop: Trainees fear for their future!
There is concern among trainees and trainers at the railway's Paderborn repair shop. The young people have turned to the public to raise awareness of their worrying situation. According to a report by Radio Hochstift Many trainees feel great insecurity, frustration and hopelessness. A central theme is fear for the future of the repair shop, where many do not have the feeling of having a permanent place after training.
What is particularly alarming is the fact that many trainees often have no work to do. This uncertainty not only makes learning more difficult, but also affects the entire education, which in itself is described as good. Trainers also warn that fewer trainees also means fewer jobs for them. There is a risk of losing a decades-long tradition of good education.
The training market in Paderborn
A look at the numbers shows that there are currently 813 unfilled training positions, while 680 young people have not found a suitable apprenticeship position. The ratio of 100 unfilled training positions to 84 unplaced applicants illustrates the challenges in the market. The need for trainees seems to be particularly high in professions such as retail clerk or industrial mechanic, while access to these professions remains insufficient for many.
Statistics and trends
Dual vocational training is very important in Germany, and 54.4 percent of an age group start training BIBB reported. But the training market has been increasingly influenced by the corona pandemic in recent years. In 2020, the number of newly concluded training contracts fell drastically and demand also fell short of expectations in the following years. Matching problems on the market are increasing, making the situation more difficult for both applicants and companies.
It remains to be seen how the situation in the Paderborn repair shop and in the entire training market will continue. The fears and uncertainties mentioned must be taken seriously in order to offer young people a solid foundation for their professional future.
Further information events will be offered in the coming weeks to make it easier for young people to access careers. The hope is that these efforts will help to significantly reduce the number of unfilled training positions and thus set the course for positive development.
