On September 9, the vocational training fair “School makes business” (“Schule macht Betrieb”) took place in the sports hall “Am Schwan­en­teich” in Mittweida. More than 1600 visitors were in attend­ance, more than the year before.

Numerous companies took advantage of this oppor­tunity to provide inform­a­tion on their vocational training oppor­tun­ities. Among them was the packaging manufac­turer Wellpappe Auerswalde KG from Lichtenau. The company informed inter­ested visitors about the current vocational training positions. Numerous specific questions about the various profes­sions in the packaging industry were discussed during in-depth talks. This gave the company the oppor­tunity to offer important guidance for career choices and career prospects..
