After a very good 2006-07 year, the signatory parties of the "National Training Pact" - the federal State and businesses (see our dispatch No. 070213) drew a new positive evaluation of the situation on the apprenticeship market at the end of the 2007-08 training year. For the first time in seven years, the number of vacant training positions (19.500) exceeds the number of applicants who couldn't find a position (14.500), i.e. a difference of 5.000 positions still available. (Ref. 080828)
Successful Training Pact. “The success of the Training Pact is bigger than ever” said Martin Wansleben, director of the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK), pointing out that young people who are still looking for a position have, from an arithmetic point of view, three available positions each.
