Excitement on the training market: opportunities and challenges for young people!

In Cologne, the training market situation between supply and demand is causing excitement and discussions. Especially in the Mecklenburg Lake District, the Neubrandenburg Employment Agency draws a mixed conclusion. Despite a high willingness to train in the region, where numerous companies invest heavily in young talent, many young people face considerable hurdles that make it difficult for them to access training. These hurdles include academic deficits, lack of motivation and uncertainties in the career choice process, such as wir-sind-mueritzer.de reported.

It is precisely this tension between the large number of training places on offer and the needs of young people that requires targeted support. Andreas Wegner, the head of the employment agency, emphasizes how important individual advice and support through career advice are. He encourages companies to give applicants opportunities even if they don't fit the profile perfectly. Small and medium-sized companies in particular need to make themselves visible in the competition for talent.

Support offers and regionality

There is a wide range of support for prospective trainees. Entry-level qualifications and support measures during training are just some of the offers that are provided. Mobility also plays a crucial role. Many young people take advantage of transitional opportunities such as internships or voluntary services and would like to complete their training in their home region if possible. Accessibility to the training facility and mobility options are essential for this.

Young people with a migrant background in particular often need additional help. Language support and intercultural measures are of great importance here. The team at the MSE 'JuSe' youth service ensures that the careers advice is tailored to the needs of this group. Doreen Heger from Brinkmann GmbH emphasizes the relevance of high-quality vocational training and close cooperation with schools and the employment agency.

Development trends on the training market

Another trend that the agency is observing is the declining interest in purely school-based, unpaid forms of training. More and more young people are favoring dual study programs and paid training positions. For many students, the decision-making process takes a long time, and quite a few need guidance and support.

The head of the employment agency advises those aged 15 to 25 to find out more about career profiles and the support options available. An appointment for a consultation can be made both online and via the free number 0800 4 5555 00. The service center can be reached from Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. This could be an important source of information for interested young people looking to start their careers.

The situation on the training market in the region therefore remains dynamic and requires active action from both companies and young people. With the right support measures and a good knack for talent, the tension between supply and demand may soon be better resolved.
