Future heroes in the craft: students discover creative professions!

Future heroes in the craft: students discover creative professions!

In the Hessian education policy, a lot is happening at the moment. At the Vogelsbergschule, primary school children in workshops express their manual skills. Among other things, they are trained in wood technology, metal technology and nutrition. As kultus.hessen.de reports, vocational students take responsibility and lead the offers. Martin Rahner, deputy headmaster, emphasizes that this approach not only promotes those seeking training, but also strengthens their personnel and social skills.

Another goal of this initiative is to win more young people for the craft. Rahner sees this as a long -term securing of vocational school locations in the region. In his opinion, it is crucial that young people learn the craft to promote a positive development in the region.

pedagogical added value and holistic learning

Heike Dietz, the headmistress of the Gudrun Frewewang School, complements Rahner's statements and emphasizes the pedagogical added value of the craft. It explains how important manual activities are for the development of self -confidence, creativity and problem solving skills. A far -reaching goal of this program is to promote holistic learning.

For the future, it is planned to implement such cooperation in other locations in Hesse. Those responsible rely on more practical, early professional orientation and a change of perspective for everyone involved. The craft should not only convey theory, but also deliver real experience.

professional orientation for young people

In order to give young people a better insight into the possibilities of vocational training, trainee TV offers an exciting platform. Here the young people can get information about 130 different professions and learn first -hand from the experiences of other trainees. This information is at Move-bb.de

specialist shortage in craft

Another urgent topic remains the shortage of skilled workers in the craft, as a study by the Kofas shows. A record value was reached with around 236,818 open spots in craft professions in 2022. In many areas, around 128,891 vacancies could not be filled, which underlines the need for more training positions. There is a large demand overhang in particular in the construction trade, which is also due to the good economy and the political goals in climate protection.

The shortage of skilled workers in the building electrical system and sanitary, heating and air conditioning technology, where over 30,000 specialists are missing. Fortunately, numerous vocational schools show a commitment to win more young people for a career in the craft, especially in these bottleneck areas.

It remains exciting how the situation will develop in the coming years. However, one thing is certain: the efforts to inspire young people for the craft have long started and the future of the craft in Hesse could look promising.
