Templin electrical professionals celebrate 35 years: the future needs training!
In 2025, JKM-Elektroanlagen GmbH will celebrate a notable anniversary: the company will be 35 years old. The company was founded in 2009 by Heinz Junker, Uwe Krüger and Klaus Meth, who had three employees at the time. Today the company has established itself as an important player in electrical installation and now has 14 employees, including three trainees. Managing director Timo Junker, who took over the company alone in 2016, regularly focuses on training young talent and was recognized for this by the Frankfurt (Oder) Chamber of Crafts. The Chamber of Crafts emphasizes how important commitment to apprentice training is, especially in times when the industry is struggling with an acute shortage of skilled workers, as the [Central Association of German Crafts](https://de.statista.com/themen/1398/aus trainees-im-handwerk/) reports.
The product range of JKM electrical systems extends from planning to construction and maintenance of electrical systems. The company has a wide operating radius that extends over approximately 50 kilometers around Templin, while serving both public and private clients. Projects such as renovation work for the Templin housing association or the new building for the Templin Active Nature School provide an insight into the versatility of the services. The team is currently also active in the former “Mühlenseeperle” and the “Alte Brewery”, in addition to maintenance jobs for the street lighting in Templin.
Commitment to training
Timo Junker has made it his mission to inspire young people to pursue a career in the skilled trades. With a training position as an electronics technician for building and infrastructure systems, JKM-Elektroanlagen GmbH ensures that new specialists are trained, which is particularly important in view of the current statistics. According to [Statista](https://de.statista.com/themen/1398/aus trainees-im-handwerk/), crafts are one of the largest professional fields in Germany, but the industry is suffering from a decline in the number of trainees and over 150,000 unfilled positions. This makes the commitment of companies like JKM-Elektroanlagen to training all the more important.
Timo Junker also volunteers on various trade committees, where he serves as chairman of the journeyman examination committee and the committee for inter-company training. He even received a certificate of honor from the Chamber of Crafts for his services in apprentice training. Such commitment is fundamental, because in 2023 there were around 342,000 apprentices in the German trade, which corresponds to a comparative decline of 34 percent since 1990.
A promising future
JKM-Elektroanlagen GmbH not only looks back on a successful past, but is also already planning investment measures for the future. A new covered warehouse is to be built on the company premises in the south industrial area for around 85,000 euros. These decisions show that Timo Junker and his team are ready to face the challenges of the craft and drive forward promising development.
