Training days in the Vogelsberg district: opportunities for young people and parents!
The Vogelsbergkreis invites you to the training days from November 24th to 28th to offer young people career prospects.
Training days in the Vogelsberg district: opportunities for young people and parents!
The Vogelsbergkreis has launched an exciting initiative that particularly appeals to young people and their parents. The training days will take place from November 24th to 28th, 2025, during which over 50 companies will open their doors. The aim of this event is to give young people insights into various professions and to support them in their career choice. District Administrator Dr. Jens Mischak welcomes the initiative and encourages parents to select and visit interesting companies with their children in order to make initial contacts and find out about training opportunities directly on site. Registrations are via the website www.tagederbildung.de possible.
The organization of the event is in the hands of the Vogelsberg District Economic Development Agency. It is particularly important that students also have the opportunity to find suitable dual vocational training. For many, this could be a golden opportunity to make their entry into professional life even more attractive.
Situation in South Africa
Around 1,500 Zama Zamas, the illegal gold miners, have left their mines, but many do not dare go back for fear of arrest. The South African authorities have been cracking down on illegal mining since the summer, which has now led to the dramatic situation. More than 100 people have reportedly died and there are alarming allegations of cannibalism among the survivors. The Gauteng state high court has now ordered the authorities to immediately rescue the miners who are still underground.
Challenges and hopes
The rescue operation is well underway but is described as challenging. An elevator cage can only take about six people up per hour. It is estimated that at least 300 to possibly over 1,000 miners remain underground. Relatives and aid organizations are concerned about the fate of these people. Sinzi Tom, a relative of a missing miner, expresses her deep concern for her family's well-being.
In the face of these tragic circumstances, it is clear that the challenges faced by miners in South Africa stand in stark contrast to the efforts in the Vogelsberg district to support young people in their career choices. While a positive future is envisaged for young people in this country, others somewhere far away are struggling to survive.
