Businesses should be able to train more easily

And what kind of training is that supposed to be then? Shoddy work/IHK? Or maybe insolvency assistant? State-certified bankruptcy vulture?

Sorry folks, but obtaining trainer qualification isn't that difficult, that's hardly the reason for the shortage of apprenticeship positions. And apprenticeship positions without proper training don't benefit any apprentice - in the end that's just exploitation of cheap labor.

When I hear the usual reasons against hiring apprentices, it's more like statements that it would be too much work.

Well, if you want fully trained skilled workers, you have to train them at some point. But you can't do that in the small backyard shop without a trainer - and those who weren't trained properly (or were simply used as cheap labor), are out on the street after their apprenticeship.

At tagesschau im Internet there's the original article.
