Securing skilled employees
Specialized personnel is an essential factor for a future-oriented and competitive existence of companies in the Ostholstein district. Especially when it comes to succession planning, qualified employees are sought in almost all sectors with corresponding apprenticeships being offered. As many apprenticeship places in Ostholstein could not be filled in the past years, many companies across various sectors see their existence increasingly threatened. Due to the demographic change and the growing personnel needs in the knowledge-intensive segments, this growing tendency is likely to increase in the coming years.
We support companies in securing supraregional skilled employees
Even though the securing of the next generation of skilled employees is primarily the task of companies, social partners and economic participants, we make it our responsibility as the business development association of the Ostholstein district, to support our companies in the best possible way with the coordination of local advertising and supraregional recruitment of skilled workers.
We do this by working closely with our partners from the Hansebelt and the Employment Agency in Lübeck. The recruitment of national and international skilled employees and the location marketing support given to companies are the two main pillars of the Hansebelt. It is the declared aim of the Lübeck Employment Agency to support companies with the recruitment of national and international skilled employees and also to integrate people, previously inactive in the labour market, into employment.

Work Experience Hansebelt
Since April 2021, we have been engaged in the "Work Experience Hansebelt“ project, which, by ways of a digital internship portal, is intended to support companies with their succession planning and search for skilled employees as well as to support young people in their search for suitable work experience spots in the Hansebelt region.
At www.praktikum-hansebelt.de interested companies offering work internships in the HanseBelt region can easily register free of charge by adding a brief company bio. After verification and confirmation by the corresponding contact person, the posting is displayed to pupils and students sorted by field of activity. This is how free work experience spots can easily be found and contacting desired companies be made easier.
Additionally, standardized training modules (internship etiquette, mobilization training and introduction to databases) are offered in local schools as part of the project to optimally prepare students, parents and teachers for internships. For companies, conceptual workshops are planned for further training in the use of digital media and the digital transformation of work experience processes. On vocational orientation days additional workshops are being offered for teachers, educational partners and other interested parties.
The implementation of the project takes place in a joint effort by the business development associations in the district Segeberg, Ostholstein, Herzogtum-Lauenburg, Stormarn and the city of Lübeck in cooperation with the platform "Work Experience Westküste“, which has been established and successful for many years. The project is funded by the regional budget of the federal state Schleswig-Holstein.
Training Atlas Ostholstein
To provide better orientation for students in their search for a suitable apprenticeship in Ostholstein and to bundle available apprenticeship spots in the district, the third edition of the Training Atlas for Ostholstein has already been published in cooperation with the district, the Ostholstein Education Authority, the Ostholstein District Artisan Association and the Business Association Ostholstein-Plön e.V. In addition to an overview of the most important training professions with concrete offers from companies in Ostholstein, it contains tips and information on the application process, company apprenticeship and vocational schools as well as food for thought on many associated topics like financial support.
