Volunteer auditors honored: Strong pillars of securing skilled workers in Tuttlingen!

Yesterday, a celebratory ceremony was held in the Angerhalle in the Möhringen district of Tuttlingen, which was all about volunteer work. Over 100 dedicated examiners were honored by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) for their many years of service on examination committees. This award is a clear indication of the central role that voluntary commitment plays in dual training and securing skilled workers in the region. Schwäbische.de reports that 104 volunteers received a silver badge for ten or twenty years of commitment.

A total of 38 examiners were honored who had worked in this position for an impressive 25, 30 or even 35 years. The commitment of Hans Georg Waskow, who was honored for an impressive 45 years, is particularly outstanding. This long-standing commitment shows that many examiners have not only been passing on their knowledge and experience to the next generation for years, but are also actively contributing to quality assurance in vocational training.

Volunteering that leaves an impression

The importance of the examinations cannot be overestimated: every year around 2,600 volunteer IHK examiners take around 10,000 intermediate and final examinations, such as ihk.de emphasized. In his speech, IHK General Manager Marco Graf made it clear how crucial the auditors' responsibility is for the quality of the financial statements. “Without these committed people, our exams would not be possible,” says Graf.

In today's world, when there is a noticeable shortage of skilled workers in many industries, examiners make an indispensable contribution. They bring in their current knowledge from professional practice, which significantly strengthens the training. The new examination committees, which will be filled from September 1st, are particularly in demand for examiners for training professions in retail and catering.

A win for everyone involved

Voluntary work not only offers examiners the opportunity to take on a meaningful social task. You also benefit personally from your work. Those who volunteer not only stay up to date with the latest professional knowledge, but also have the opportunity to expand their professional network. This is also confirmed by a study by DIHK Bildungs-GmbH, which shows that volunteers help to improve the skilled worker situation in Germany. Dihk-bildungs-gmbh.de highlights that despite the challenges posed by exemption, the role of auditors remains essential.

The appeal to specialists and managers to make themselves available as auditors is clear. Good communication skills and enjoyment of working with young people are essential. Anyone interested in this now has the opportunity to contact the IHK and become part of this important community.
