Eisfeld celebrates Jonny: 500th trainee of the IHK Südthüringen!

In this training period, there is reason to be happy: Jonny Schwenk, a 16-year-old from Sonneberg, has reached its place as a 500th trainee in the Chamber District of the IHK South Thuringia. For him, the exciting journey to the machine and plant leader at the Scholle IPN Germany in Eisfeld begins on August 1st. This is not an everyday occasion, and Jonny is visibly excited and full of anticipation for his training time.

This great success was no accident. Together with his reference teacher Diana Meyer, Jonny Lange searched for a suitable training position. The crucial tip came from an open day in the Hildburghausen Education Center (HBZ), where he was able to experience various professions up close. Such events offer real opportunities to find the right way for the professional future, as well as the hwk Südthüringen again and again.

The meaning of internships

For many young people, the search for the right profession is often a rocky path. The IHK apprenticeship exchange, which can be found at IHK.de , lists around 40,000 open training positions and dual courses nationwide. The apprenticeship exchange serves not only as a source of information, but also as a platform that brings numerous companies together.

internships are another important component in this search. They help to gain a first insight into different professions. Students and training seekers have the opportunity to get to know potential colleagues and compare the desired professions. In the best case, these contacts can lead to successful training, which is of great importance for young people.

A look into the future

Jonny is a good example of what is possible with the right support and the right offers. The Hildburghausen Education Center in connection with the apprenticeship exchange creates this valuable space for young talents to take the first steps into professional life. And as it looks, 2025 is a promising year for the training landscape in South Thuringia.

whether with an internship or an apprenticeship contract, there are numerous options for everyone who is looking for an entry into the world of work. Jonny shows all of us that the first step into the professional future can be courageously addressed!
