Trainee Story

 The German Chamber of Industry and Commerce went and did a survey of 14,000 companies  in Germany.  Key problem currently?  They are all suffering from a lack of trainees/apprentices.

Some companies even get zero applicants.

Around a dozen years ago, I was reading a German survey which laid out an odd problem.  In Bavaria.....for each hundred jobs advised for trainees....they had around 65 applicants.  In the state of NRW....for each hundred jobs advertised for trainees....they had around 130 applicants.   State by state....it differs.

Where this is heading?  You will end up in a decade or two....where some companies are desperate enough to start paying moving costs....to get people from one region of the country to another.
