Around 500 companies, including DAX companies and medium-sized companies, were surveyed in the study, and the results show that the focus is on the quality of support and innovative training concepts. Many companies have applied for the award in recent years, but only 372 received four or five stars - a real success for the district office!
District Administrator Andrea Jochner-Weiß sums it up: She is overjoyed about the recognition and emphasizes how important it is to invest in high-quality training.

Jochner-Weiß emphasizes that the training measures that have been initiated are of great importance for both the trainees and the employer, especially in times of a shortage of skilled workers.
In detail: The award
How did this come about? The award is not only based on a pure survey, but also takes into account various aspects of the training. The head of the human resources department, Stefan Laubenbacher, and Verena Steidl, who is responsible for training and further education, emphasize that the well-being of the trainees plays a crucial role. The study analyzed around 600 companies, including large authorities and craft businesses, and included more than three million employees as well as 84,000 trainees and almost 18,000 dual students. This makes it clear how broad the database is, oberland.de reports.
The district office has continuously worked on its training quality in recent years and, with a team of around 600 employees, it is an important employer in the region. Every year there are around 35 trainees and around 100 interns who gain valuable experience in areas such as IT, administration and social work. The range of training places on offer is attractive and secure, which makes the district office a popular place to go for young people.
The context of dual training
What makes the dual training system in Germany so special? According to an analysis by the Federal Agency for Civic Education, German vocational training has an excellent international reputation. More than half of young people opt for classic dual vocational training, which is often ignored in the current education debate because the focus is often on universities. Experts see this system as a reason for the low youth unemployment in Germany, which shows how important sound training is. The majority of the working population does not have a university degree, but rather a successful vocational qualification, which makes our training systems all the more valuable bpb.de explains.
Whether in administration, in the technical area or in social work - the Weilheim-Schongau district office sets itself apart from others with a modern and future-oriented training approach. These awards confirm the company's excellent status as a family-friendly and quality-conscious employer that not only meets today's standards, but also wants to master future challenges. A good reason to be proud of your successes!
