Commission participates in crafting of updated training courses.

In the vibrant city of Giessen, the town hall recently echoed with excitement as Mayor Frank-Tilo Becher welcomed 28 new trainees, dual students, and interns. This significant event marked the beginning of their professional journey, a testament to the city's commitment to nurturing the next generation.

Giessen, known for its dedication to sustainable personnel development and a diverse, family-friendly administrative culture, continues to prioritise the training of its future workforce. The city's commitment was evident in the induction program designed to orient, engage, and inspire the new professionals.

Representatives from the personnel department, including Stefanie Kohler, the training manager, were also present to ensure a smooth transition for the new talents. The Youth and Trainee Representation (JAV) was involved in the program, offering guidance and support throughout the process.

The new professionals hail from the University City of Giessen and the Middle Hesse Waterworks (MWB). They will be starting their careers in ten different training professions and study programs, ranging from administration to educational, environmental, technical, and craft areas.

The induction program was packed with workshops, meetings with the JAV, a city rally, joint lunch breaks, and themed workshops. The aim was to provide a diverse experience, offering practical orientation, exchange, networking, and shared experiences.
