Monitoring by senate and Chamber of Skilled Crafts proves successful - challenges remain
The senate and the Chamber of Skilled Crafts (HWK) have presented an interim report on the "Skilled Crafts Master Plan 2030", a press release said Monday (June 24, 2024). The master plan, which was launched in spring 2022, aims to improve the framework conditions for 15,000 skilled trades companies with around 105,000 employees in Hamburg. The master plan helps them find sufficient space, attract young, skilled workers and to upgrade their companies.

Potential for optimisation
"However, clearly, more remains to be done in some areas to ensure that things progress for the skilled trades in our city," Stemmann pointed out. Training, digitalisation, commercial space and commercial transport are now top of the agenda. "We will continue to work hard on this together with a focus towards the future."
