Young prodigies from Fürther hailed as new talents after successfully completing their training, marking a joyous occasion celebrated at the town hall
In a grand ceremony at Fürth City Hall, the Nuremberg Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) for Middle Franconia honoured 310 graduates from various commercial professions.

Michaela Partheimüller, Vice President of the Nuremberg IHK for Middle Franconia, presented the certificates, recognition certificates, and state awards to the graduates. In her speech, she praised their efforts and emphasised the importance of dual education as a foundation for their careers.
The IHK certificate presentation signifies official recognition of the trainees' successful completion of their dual education programs, a significant milestone that reflects the quality and relevance of this education system in preparing skilled professionals. The system, unique to Germany, combines apprenticeships in a company and vocational education at a vocational school within one course, enabling trainees to gain practical work experience while learning theoretical knowledge.
The high number of trainees involved in the dual education system in Middle Franconia indicates its significant impact on the local economy. With approximately 18,000 trainees currently undergoing training in around 4,000 companies, the region is providing a well-trained workforce tailored to regional industry needs. This system helps reduce youth unemployment by offering clear pathways to employment and supports economic stability and growth through close collaboration between educational institutions and businesses.
The Mayor and District Administrator expressed their joy over the new skilled workers, stressing their hope that they would continue their careers in the region. The commitment to retaining talent in the region was evident in the presentation of scholarships from the Luise-Erhard-Fonds to selected former students for the continuation of their academic careers.
