 about engineering

The economic boom has its dark side: the German industry complains about the increasing difficulty in senior positions to be filled with appropriate engineers. In July 2010 established the Institute of German Industry 36 800 vacant engineering positions. Qualified young is also in many other areas in short supply. The issue also affects businesses in the district of Dillingen.

Situation defused

Peter Lachenmeir, CFO of Green water treatment Beck GmbH in Blenheim, speaks of general difficulties for the operation with 430 employees good professionals to win. On the labor market would find hardly any specialists in process engineering, water and mechanical engineering. Grünbeck encounter the problem with targeted young talent. Good experiences have the company offers for technician training and dual degree programs, made with the establishment of internships and to the award of diploma thesis: Time and again young forces returned upon completion of their training back to Green Beck. Currently, engineering posts were still vacant, but had to defuse the situation. The lack in this area is proceeding well known in cyclical rhythms.

The fact that currently on the German market lacks engineers, has many causes. The Institute of the German economy suggested in an Information Service in August 2010 a series of measures, namely:

  • is the closer cooperation between industry and schools to increase the technical interest in the students,
  • The strengthening of information on study opportunities for professionally qualified without A-levels,
  • to increase the number of engineering graduates and
  • adaptation of abode, especially for graduates from non-EU countries.

must also be overcome with the notion that engineering professions are particularly suitable for men. In Germany, the proportion of women is in the range of engineering professions, with only 15 percent in Sweden at least 25 percent.

Image of the basic problems?

Experts have been demanding for years, the teachers, especially in high schools on, to confront the untenable thesis of the opposition between spirit and technology. The fact that in Germany in 2007 came to 1,000 engineering professionals employed only 35 degrees in engineering, could be due to image problems. In the Czech Republic, the ratio was 1000:214.

As early as 2008, drew the shortage of engineers at the premises of Swabia. This says Dr. Peter Lintner, Deputy Managing Director, IHK Schwaben. Meanwhile, the not to be covered need for qualified professionals at the master craftsman and technician level to an even greater problem had developed. Dr. Lintner, who heads the Chamber of Commerce and the business location policy refers, have performed together in August 2010 to a current analysis, the Chamber of Commerce and Handicrafts. The result, which is not yet published, shows that one in five in Swabia urgently looking for qualified professionals.

Mutual support

In a favorable situation is the Same Deutz-Fahr Germany GmbH Leonhard Schuster, commercial director of the company, stresses that are currently occupied all engineering positions in the Lauinger work. That stems partly due to the mutual support in human resource management by the Italian-German, the other targeted at the education of young professionals under the umbrella. "The number of trainees has doubled," said Schuster. Same Deutz-Fahr, the Managing Director, secure future employees and the way forward for optimum targeted support to qualification.
