City of Jena once again among the best trainers

The city of Jena will still be one of Germany's best places to train in 2023. This is the recently published result of a study by the business magazine "Capital" and the platform "Ausbildung.de". The team led by training manager Anja Andritzke was awarded four out of five stars for both training and dual studies.

"We are very proud of this award," said Andritzke. The fact that the city of Jena was able to achieve such good ratings is primarily thanks to the dedicated trainers. More than 100 trainers now support the trainees in the core administration and the municipal enterprises.

Extensive list of questions in five categories

Between mid-March and mid-May, the participating companies answered an extensive list of questions that analyzed five categories: one aspect was the support and involvement of the trainees - whereby the qualifications and support of the trainers were also examined. The second topic, "Learning in the company", included questions on teaching methods, performance reviews and training plans. The third part dealt with strategies and budgets for training marketing. The fourth category looked at innovative methods such as the use of digital media, as well as the question of how companies integrate the technical skills of their trainees in practice. The fifth section focused on the trainees' chances of success. The companies had to state the takeover and drop-out rates, training and starting salaries and were asked to describe the career opportunities and further training options after the training.

25 different training and study programs

In September, the city welcomed 37 new trainees. "The number of our trainees has risen continuously over the past ten years," said Andritzke. The spectrum has also become broader and broader - the city of Jena now offers 25 training and study courses. These range from automotive mechatronics technician, office management clerk, real estate clerk, emergency paramedic and educator to tourism and leisure clerk. There are also dual study courses such as public management and social work. For the first time this year, training courses were also offered for funeral directors.

New advertisements for apprenticeships

Five training courses are currently being advertised for the coming year at https://karriere.jena.de/de/jobboerse.

The application phase for training as an emergency paramedic starts in mid-November. The city of Jena is looking forward to welcoming many people interested in training.

The new training year also marks the launch of a new Instagram channel dedicated to training at Jena City Council. For more information on the diverse training opportunities and current insights into everyday training, follow us on Instragram: @stadtjena.deineausbildung
