"We want to make it clear that dual vocational training is a successful model. It offers young people an excellent opportunity to develop their talents and enter the world of work in a practical way," explains AGA Managing Director Volker Tschirch. In view of the massive shortage of labour and skilled workers, companies need this young talent more urgently than ever. Companies from northern Germany, Saxony-Anhalt and Thuringia now have the chance to nominate successful graduates for the "Trainee of the North" 2024.
