How can the skilled trades remain fit for the future? What strategies can help combat the shortage of skilled labour? These and many other questions were the focus of the 12th business development meeting of the Dresden Chamber of Crafts on 24 January 2025, which was also attended by the business development team from the city of Hoyerswerda.
As every year, the event took place alongside the Karrierestart trade fair. A suitable opportunity not only to exchange ideas with other business development organisations, but also to learn directly about current developments in the skilled trades and in securing young talent.
Particularly exciting: the discussion about the career paths of first-time trainees in Saxony. This topic is highly relevant for companies and local authorities, especially in the context of the shortage of skilled labour. The discussions and impulses from the round table are a valuable basis for the day-to-day work of Hoyerswerda’s business development organisation.
The dialogue shows once again that networking and shared knowledge are crucial to the successful further development of the economy and skilled trades in the region.
