42 percent of 15-year-olds in Upper Austria opt for a apprenticeship, but are you also happy with your choice? The fact is: the number of people who choose another profession in the course of their training is increasing. There is also a lot of change in educational activities than before. Read what is needed here, so that the relationship between companies and young talents takes longer.
After the Corona Deep, the internship figures in the field of tourism and leisure industry again gave up “This trend removal is very gratifying,” said Doris Hummer, president of the Upper Austria Chamber of Commerce, at the presentation of student statistics before 2024.
With 22,177 people who followed vocational training in the higher Austria in the previous year, a total of 390 students were registered compared to 2023. In addition to demographic development, the tense economic situation also leaves his traces in the statistics: companies partially reduced their students or are now simply more electorally.
“The young people are more ready to change today”
But the young people are also picky. This increases the willingness to change between students. “In the past it was an absolute exception that you changed the internship during the training period. Today it is no longer endurance so that you first completed your internship and then are looking for something new,” says Hummer, “the young people are more ready to change today”.
Why is it changing? This can be because the trainee does not feel comfortable. “But there are often reasons for content,” emphasizes the President of the Upper Austria Chamber of Commerce and explains: “For example, you depend on the fact that the profession chosen is not the right one. I already had someone in my company who started a cooking internship for the first time and then switched to metal technology.”
Recommendation rate is increasing with a higher rating
The desire for the basics and the subject of appreciation play a huge role for young people – if a company is flopping here, the specialist is quickly looking for something new in Spe. “The more appreciated, the greater the chance that the internship is recommended,” says Mario Dertl, CO founder of Talents & Company in Linz.
Talents and company specializes in helping companies to improve their student training and is precisely the setting up of a vocational training, which is intended for instructors throughout Europe. What do companies have to offer so that students don’t look at something new? “Without security, connection, but also appreciation and sensation, I cannot permanently bind young talent,” emphasizes Dittl, who itself has completed an internship as Mechatronics engineer in the foot salpin.
