Congratulations to the young craftsmen

Three or. For three and a half years, they baked bread, cut hair, worked on wood and metal, and "along the way" they learned a lot the school desk is also printed. Now the 107 journeymen were rewarded for their efforts in the hegelsaal and were officially recognized by the kreishandwerkerschaft bamberg.

"First and foremost, acquittal means getting rid of the many ties that bind you during your apprenticeship", explained district master craftsman manfred amon. In recent years, the trainees have been firmly tied to their workshops and schools, but also to their instructors, foremen and teachers, and have had to follow predefined procedures and methods in order to acquire professional qualifications. However, this was not harassment, but necessary in order to teach the young trainees a rough set of skills and knowledge in a short period of time. Amon pointed out that although they were released from the constraints of teaching with the handing over of the letters, new constraints would certainly arise in the course of their lives.

Matthias grabmann, vice president of the upper franconia chamber of handicrafts, emphasized the importance of handicraft businesses in his opening remarks: "in 2012, our handicraft businesses in upper franconia ensured that almost 2800 apprenticeship contracts could be registered despite declining numbers of applicants." in doing so, they offered young people a real chance for the future and at the same time secured their own future skilled workers. Furthermore, one in four businesses is in the skilled trades, one in five employees is in the skilled trades, and one in three trainees begins his or her career in the skilled trades.

Congratulations and recognition for the performance of the young apprentices also came from city councilor christian lange (CSU), who represented the mayor, and from deputy district administrator johann pfister.
