Why not something with food?
Training can also be delicious, says the Food-Pleasure-Gastronomy Union (NGG).

147 unfilled training positions in the Ebersberg district.
The NGG union is sounding the alarm: the training market is under pressure
District – Shortage of young talent: The training market in the Ebersberg district is under pressure.
The Food, Pleasure and Restaurants union (NGG) has pointed this out.
According to the NGG, the employment agency in the Ebersberg district registers 147 unfilled training positions.
16 of them in the food industry.
“We have a shortage of trainees.
At the same time, 14 percent of 20 to 34 year olds in Bavaria do not have a professional qualification.
A phenomenon that also affects many young people in the Ebersberg district.
This means they don’t have the best prospects on the job market – including when it comes to wages,” says Tim Lünnemann.
The managing director of NGG Munich relies on information from the Federal Institute for Vocational Training (BIBB).
The union fears a “dangerous trend”: young people who have no more than a secondary school leaving certificate are becoming less and less likely to make the leap into training.
“It is important that these young people are supported more intensively.
They have to be made fit for training,” says Lünnemann.
Employment agencies, job centers and companies should now shift into high gear when it comes to supporting young people's training.
Companies should rely on “trainee pilots”.
“They would have to actively work to get to young people in the first place.
Then it's about getting them excited about apprenticeships.
And if, for example, young people have difficulties learning, this can also mean that the company has to offer tutoring for three years.
Because the workload that the vocational schools have overwhelms many young people,” says Tim Lünnemann from the NGG Munich.
The economy in the Ebersberg district needs to prepare better for the new training year.
It is fundamentally necessary to do more for the next generation of job seekers.
“It starts with recognizing the potential that lies in a young person,” says Lünnemann.
Starting this summer, there will also be tailwind from Berlin for young people: “The Bundestag has decided on a training guarantee.
From August, young people will be entitled to training.
Anyone who has not found a training position in a company has the right to training outside the company,” says Tim Lünnemann.
Training in a company – i.e. “in the middle of your working life” – is of course more attractive.
That is why the NGG Munich is also in favor of a pay-as-you-go training guarantee.
“All companies pay into a fund.
Anyone who provides training will then have a large part of the costs reimbursed from this training pot - for example for the remuneration that trainees receive," explains Tim Lünnemann.
