Fair for trainees in Erkelenz 2025
On the fringes of the trainee fair in Erkelenz, the project partner WHKT informed young people on the threshold of professional life and employer representatives about the numerous opportunities offered by the Erasmus+ programme. This includes internships abroad during an apprenticeship as well as cooperation partnerships that develop innovative results to tackle common European challenges. Among those was the JOB project which aims to reduce the drop-out rate in the participating countries.
As a result of the direct exchange with young people looking for an apprenticeship, the WHKT was able to gain valuable insights into their professional interests and how these are comparable with careers in the skilled crafts sector. In addition, other stakeholders such as education providers, chambers of industry and commerce and the Federal Employment Agency have expressed a keen interest in the project.
