Working senator Kiziltepe is looking for solutions for missing apprenticeships in Berlin

In the capital, numerous young people still have no training position-although there are more and more apprenticeships. Berlin's work is looking for solutions.

The number of operational training rose by 5.4 percent to 15,832. Nevertheless, there were more than 3000 applicants without an apprenticeship at the end of September, almost 600 more than in the previous year. Working senator Cansel Kiziltepe (48, SPD): "The training quota in Berlin is still significantly below the national average."

To change this, the new “Alliance for Education” was only founded in early August. Kiziltepe: "The common goal of the alliance partners is to have 2000 more apprenticeships under contract in two years than today." Professional orientation in schools should also be improved for this.

According to the Federal Employment Agency, more young people now claim help when looking for a job in Berlin. The Berlin training balance 2022/2023: Last year, 21,176 school leavers reported to the career counseling to be supported in finding jobs - 274 more than in the previous year.
