Future of the training: Despite the decline, Ennepe-Ruhr remains strong!

In the Ennepe-Ruhr district, the number of new trainees remains stable, despite a slight decline of five percent compared to the previous year. As of the cut-off date on September 30, 2024, the Southwestern Fälische Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Hagen (SIHK) recorded a total of 2,891 training contracts. Commercial and technical professions are particularly affected by the decline.

Thomas Haensel, head of the "Forming people" division, is optimistic. He emphasizes the importance of training and calls for companies to use new recruitment methods, in particular on social media such as TikTok and Instagram. He also encourages applicants with less good school grades, since internships offer an opportunity to get to know each other better. For those who have not yet found a training position or have demolished their training, it is not too late: the SIHK team is ready to find suitable offers.
