Chamber of Industry and Commerce honours outstanding trainees

In Erkelenz, 1491 trainees have now passed their examination with the Aachen Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) – 125 of them with the top grades. This included twelve trainees from the district of Heinsberg.

It was now time for this next generation of young workers to enjoy a special ceremony at which they were congratulated by IHK President Gisela Kohl-Vogel. "We are delighted, together with each one of you, about your outstanding results," said Kohl-Vogel thanking all trainers, examiners and vocational school teachers. "Our globally respected dual training system would not be possible without your voluntary commitment."

Kohl-Vogel also made the graduates aware of the continuing education and training scholarship from the German foundation for the promotion of talent in VET [Stiftung Begabtenförderung berufliche Bildung, SBB]. Following their outstanding final examinations, they can receive support of up to €8,100 for specialist and cross-specialism continuing education and training.
