Abundant training opportunities available in Leipzig's job market for training
In the bustling city of Leipzig, a record high demand for apprenticeships has been reported this year, with over 4,000 positions available across various sectors. However, a significant number of these positions remain unfilled [1].
Despite the oversupply of apprenticeship applicants compared to available positions, there are still opportunities for late applicants. Companies like DRÄXLMAIER continue to offer apprenticeships with guaranteed hiring and strong career advancement options [1]. Interested individuals can apply for apprenticeships in fields such as vehicle interior mechanics, process technician in plastics and rubber engineering, or warehouse logistics specialist, among others, in Leipzig and surrounding regions [1].
The city of Leipzig is home to a variety of industries, with companies offering apprenticeships in sectors such as IT, healthcare, and construction. Other sectors and companies in the region, including logistics roles at firms like DHL and automotive companies such as BMW, also offer apprenticeship or job opportunities [3][4][5]. Unsolicited applications or direct inquiries to companies' career pages can also be viable routes for late candidates to find placement [3][4][5].
The city of Leipzig is providing financial incentives for companies to offer apprenticeships, aiming to encourage more businesses to participate in the dual education program [2]. The deadline for late applications for apprenticeships in Leipzig this year has been extended, allowing more individuals to apply [2].
Despite the efforts, the number of young people without an apprenticeship in Leipzig has risen to 258 [1]. This discrepancy between the number of available positions and those filled can be due to factors like late applications, insufficient promotion, or a lack of immediate suitable candidates [1].
As the demand for apprenticeships continues to grow, the city of Leipzig is launching a campaign to further encourage companies to offer apprenticeships [2]. The campaign aims to bridge the gap between available opportunities and the young people seeking them, ensuring that everyone has a fair chance to start their career in Leipzig.
