Apprentice Fair Düsseldorf: "Welcome Chef*in!" and presentation of the "Training Heart 2023" award
## A Bustling Trainee Fair in Flinger Broich: A Platform for Talent and Opportunities
The annual "Hello Boss" Trainee Fair at Flinger Broich, a vibrant event aimed at connecting young trainees with potential employers, recently took place. The fair was officially opened by Nadja Hübbing, Managing Director of BBZ, and Clara Gerlach, Mayor of the city, signalling the start of an exciting day for all participants.
Among the various companies present was the customs office Düsseldorf, seeking motivated young talent in the administrative area. The Vocational Training Centre of the AWO (VTC) has been participating in the Trainee Fair since 2015, using the occasion to introduce their trainees to a variety of training companies.
For young trainees, the fair offers numerous benefits. It provides a platform for networking opportunities, allowing them to connect with potential employers and learn about various industries. Attendees can also gain valuable insights into different career paths and the skills required for each field. Moreover, these events often provide opportunities for trainees to secure internships or job placements.
Companies, too, stand to gain from such events. They can identify and recruit talented individuals who are eager to start their careers. Participating in trainee fairs also allows companies to showcase their brand and culture, potentially attracting top talent. Moreover, such events can be a cost-effective way for companies to find and engage with potential employees compared to traditional recruitment methods.
One such company that has been a regular participant at the Trainee Fair is Markus Frentzen from the Düsseldorf city works. Frentzen, who has a small table at the metal workshop due to his long-standing collaboration with training master Siegfried Ploch, was seen engaging with potential trainees throughout the day.
Clara Gerlach, a teacher at a vocational college, emphasised the importance of preparing young people for the realities of the workplace. Francis Breidenstein, who was honoured for his commitment to promoting the professional development of young people, shared his company's commitment to taking on young people who need a second chance. Breidenstein gave a training position to Laura Marquardt, who had to take a long break due to illness. Marquardt, now in her first year of training, is being introduced to many tasks by her boss and journeyman, Breidenstein.
In addition to the administrative and metal workshops, the future hairdressers and florists were also present at the fair, showcasing their skills and talents. The wood workshop buzzed with activity, as people worked diligently on various projects. Companies and applicants were registered in the online platform "Hello Boss" for contact purposes, ensuring a smooth and efficient process for all involved.
The Trainee Fair at Flinger Broich provides an invaluable opportunity for young trainees and companies alike. For accurate information about the event, it would be best to contact the event organisers or check their official website.
