Regional training market experiences optimistic outlook according to Employment Agency perspective
Increase in Training Positions in Nordschwarzwald Region
The Nordschwarzwald region around Pforzheim, Germany, is seeing a surge in training opportunities for young people. According to the Agentur für Arbeit Nagold-Pforzheim, the number of applicants for a training position has increased by 16% or 0.6% compared to the previous year, with a total of 2,762 applicants for a training position as of the latest count [1].
As of September 30, 2023, there are still 865 training positions reported, which is a significant increase of 11.9% compared to the previous year [1]. These training positions cover various vocational fields such as retail sales, food trade specialist, salesperson, and druggist, among others. They are available in nearby municipalities like Ispringen, Kämpfelbach, Kieselbronn, and others within approximately 10-11 km from Pforzheim [1].
Specific listings for social worker and pedagogical training positions are also available in Pforzheim for 2026 and 2027, indicating that social service training is offered in the region [3]. Additionally, professional oral surgery employment positions are offered in the Nordschwarzwald area, though these are professional employment positions rather than initial vocational training spots [2].
For more specialized industries like healthcare, social work, and technical education, local institutions such as BruderhausDiakonie and education centers like SKZ offer specific apprenticeship and training programs [4][5].
Despite the increase in training positions, there are still 41 young people without a training position at the end of September. The Agentur für Arbeit will continue its matching efforts until at least the end of the year to bring together unplaced applicants with unfilled training positions [1].
Martina Lehmann, CEO of the Agentur für Arbat Nagold-Pforzheim, stated that the agency increased its presence at schools, training and study fairs, public baths, weekly markets, and events/festivals to compensate for the demographic trend and convince more young people of the attractiveness and excellent career opportunities of dual training in the Nordschwarzwald region [1].
