Many companies are still facing bottlenecks in the recruitment of young talent. The VDMA is therefore launching the "Weeks of Technology" together with its members and universities.
For the fifth time, exhibitors and VDMA members presented themselves to young visitors and provided exciting insights into the various apprenticeships in the construction equipment industry.
Young people in transition are an often overlooked but potentially valuable target group - also for the mechanical and plant engineering sector.
87 percent of mechanical engineering apprentices are satisfied or even very satisfied with their apprenticeship. This is the result of a recent VDMA survey.
DescriptionIf done well and in an interesting way, addressing parents in a targeted manner can make an important contribution to securing the next generation of skilled workers in the long term.
Every year, around 250,000 young people try to find their way into vocational training after leaving school with the help of the transition area. There is a wide range of programs to choose from, but too often companies and young people do not find a match.
Many young people in the transition period between school and work are suitable for training. Targeted support could attract them to careers in mechanical engineering.
Demographic change, a shortage of skilled workers, unfilled training positions - these are often the predominant issues in Germany when it comes to recruitment. But what is it like in other countries? We asked around locally.
Only half of all mechanical engineering companies are currently able to fill all apprenticeship positions. Many companies would like to train more people, but there is a lack of qualified applicants.
Are you interested in ships, shipping and maritime technologies? Are you currently looking for a training or study place? Would you like to combine innovation, project work and a wide range of career opportunities?
Mechanical engineering offers young professionals many attractive jobs and career development opportunities. The VDMA has launched a video series with member companies - Part 6: Nico Lienhard, viastore Software GmbH.
At the board meeting of the VDMA LV BaWü, the board members were given an insight into the state-of-the-art production processes at TRUMPF and dealt intensively with forward-looking topics

At SMM 2024, the world's leading maritime trade fair in Hamburg, the focus will continue to shift to training and the search for talent in maritime mechanical engineering.
On June 7, the 5th German-Senegalese Business Day took place at the VDMA in Frankfurt. Almost 60 guests from Germany and Senegal came together under the motto "Turning contacts into contracts".
STEM professions are still predominantly male-dominated. In this virtual workshop, companies discussed specific measures to attract more women to engineering positions.

Parents continue to have an influence on the career orientation of their own children. In order to recruit young people for the mechanical engineering sector, parents must therefore be involved at an early stage.
Order situation is lukewarm, investment plans are at a standstill. USA continues to be the driving force, while China disappoints.
The "Europe - Experience and Learn" initiative of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and the European Youth Parliament in Germany e.V. is designed to help trainees gain EU experience abroad.
The mix of study and in-company training is popular. The dual study program is particularly popular in mechanical engineering and is proving to be a successful model, a survey of students shows.
The shortage of skilled workers is back and leads to production bottlenecks in the mechanical and plant engineering industry. Many companies are asking themselves how to attract qualified employees and retain them in the long term.
For the 7th time, VDMA Software and Digitalization and VDMA Education are offering the "Digitalization in Mechanical Engineering" Young Talent Award, which recognizes outstanding final theses by students. The nomination is made by the supervising uni
Mechanical engineering offers young professionals many attractive activities and career development opportunities. The VDMA has produced a video series with member companies - the result is five exciting clips that will whet your appetite for more.
