Solemn hands -free: 11 young journeyman start in Oldenburg

Last Friday, eleven young people celebrated an important milestone in their professional career together with their families and the dual training partners in Oldenburg in Holstein. The occasion was a small ceremony organized by the Holstein Nord painter and painter guild. This guild currently comprises over 50 member companies and offered the newly trained specialists a festive framework to accept their training certificates and journeyman's letters. The event took place on the site of the Oldenburg Wallmuseum in the restaurant and café "Twozack" and offered the guests a selection of drinks in addition to coffee and cake.

Obermeister Hauke Scheef opened the celebration with a warm welcome to those present and expressed his special thanks to Arne Hansen, the deputy managing director of the Ostholstein / Plön district craftsmanship. Hansen and his team had taken care of the technical organization of the event. In his speech, Scheef emphasized the perseverance of the young specialists who had learned their craft in the past three years. He emphasized that manual skills, creativity and curiosity, especially at a time when more and more short working hours are counted, are essential factors for professional and private success. Here he also emphasized the importance of a good work-life balance.

The role of technology in craft

The feeling of satisfaction and success in work is in direct connection with the visible work, according to Scheef. He explained that the graduates can directly recognize what they did during this time at the end of a working day. Scheef also drawn attention to the growing role of artificial intelligence in the industry. For example, he mentions various technologies, such as grinding and spray robots that are already being used in the processing of floors and walls.

If you look into the future, according to Scheef, many exciting developments are conceivable. This includes the possibility that duty vehicles drive autonomously to the construction sites or that the operational planning of the specialists is optimized by artificial intelligence. However, Scheef also sees a political need for action because the implementation of such technologies requires support from politics. An important concern of the senior master is the reinforcement of the votes of craftsmen in political committees in order to increase the importance of the craft in society.

Another central point that Scheef emphasized are the challenges and opportunities in the field of migration and integration. Currently, the search and speech of specialists are no longer limited to the German market, which underlines the need to also look for talents internationally. The newly trained journeyman now has numerous paths open. Whether it is the start of a specialist company, the master school, the technician school or the opportunity to work in sales and specialist advice as well as in color development or at vocational schools - the professional future is open to you.
