Riesa training exchange: 90 companies help you choose a career!
What's happening in Riesa? Things will get exciting at the vocational school center at the end of the month, as a major training placement search is on the agenda. Not only the number of participants is crucial here, but also the individual orientation for the applicants. Loud Sächsische.de A total of 90 companies are taking part in the Riesa training exchange “Focus Future”, which takes place shortly before the 1st Advent. Berit Kasten, spokeswoman for the employment agency, describes this cooperation as unique in the district.
The challenge is great: there are over 1,500 open positions in the Meißen district, while only around 1,300 applicants are looking for their dream position. The variety of possible careers could be overwhelming for young people. But this is exactly where the event comes in - it not only offers a platform to collect information, but also support with applications.
Together on new paths
The training exchange offers an excellent opportunity to establish direct contact with the companies and clarify questions on site. In addition, young people can get an initial feel for the job market and thus orientate themselves better.
At a time when finding a suitable training position is a challenge for many, it is important to take advantage of such initiatives. Networking between schools and companies is crucial in order to show young people the possibilities and actively support them in starting their careers.
State support for all households
But it's not just the choice of career that plays a role in people's everyday lives. There is also news in the energy sector. From 2025, Chèque Énergie will be introduced, government support for low-income households to pay electricity, gas or heating costs. How Selectra reported, households with a tax reference income of less than 11,000 euros per consumption unit can benefit from the advantages. The amounts range from 48 to 277 euros, depending on income and household size.
The introduction of the e-Chèque Énergie is also expected. This digital access to the offer of assistance is intended to make application and administration much easier. Another advantage: This e-Chèque can be used for online payments, while the traditional paper Chèque can only be used once with a provider.
Applications can be submitted until February 28, 2026 if the household is not automatically identified. A good moment to take the necessary steps and find out about financial support.
In summary, it can be said that both the training exchange in Riesa and the introduction of the Chèque Énergie next year are important steps in offering the population perspectives and support. Especially in uncertain times, it's good to know that help is available that can put things under your feet.
