Vocational training & career guidance

Working together to attract young talent to Jena

With our many years of experience, we support companies in Jena in securing the skilled workers of tomorrow. Our goal: to make training fit for the future, strengthen trainers, promote career guidance and expand cooperation – for a strong economy in Jena.

Our consulting services for Jena companies:

  • Becoming a training company: JenaWirtschaft supports companies on their way to being recognised as a training company. This includes information on legal requirements, support in the selection of suitable training occupations and the provision of regional contacts and funding opportunities.
  • Attracting and retaining young talent: We support Jena companies in targeting young people, getting them interested in apprenticeships and retaining them in the company in the long term – for example through attractive training content, individual support and good development prospects after graduation.
  • Utilising collaborative and service training: JenaWirtschaft advises on the organisation of collaborative solutions and service training. Smaller companies in particular benefit from sharing training capacities and still providing qualified training – flexibly, efficiently and practically.
  • Avoid training drop-outs: JenaWirtschaft supports companies in establishing stable training structures – as the basis for successful training relationships. Building on this, we help to recognise typical dropout risks at an early stage and take targeted countermeasures. If necessary, we arrange suitable support programmes and network with partners who can provide advice and support in challenging situations.
  • Shaping modern training: JenaWirtschaft supports companies in developing their trainers into modern learning facilitators. We provide impetus for new didactic approaches, the use of digital tools and show ways in which individual learning processes can be specifically promoted – for state-of-the-art training.
