Education fair in Lauda-Koenigshofen

GRUENSFELD / LAUDA-KOENIGSHOFEN. On Friday 4th July, the 10th Education Fair was officially opened on the booth of company BOHLENDER. This fair is yearly organised by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry Heilbronn-Franconia and takes two days.

In the Municipal Hall of Lauda, more than 90 companies presented 100 different jobs that require training. Also, the BOHLENDER GmbH with four apprentices and their training manager Uwe Hossfeld informed about the profession of an industrial mechanic.

On Friday the "BOMSUS" (job orientation with fun) for invited school classes took place. Beforehand, pupils were prepared for the game by their schools and thus directly communicated with the companies on site.

On Saturday, many parents came with their children to gain information on apprenticeships on presentations and workshops.

The professional world becoming more complicated and the demographic change with decreasing school enrolment and thus less apprentices force companies to give more effort against skills shortage. An extensive lecture programme by the exhibitors as well as a "Last-Minute-market" for open apprenticeship positions still for 2014 completed the Education Fair 2014. The BOHLENDER GmbH already has its apprentices for 2014. The application procedure for 2015 has already started.
