How to attract new trainees
To attract new trainees, you should consider the following aspects:
- Traditional ways: Publish your job adverts on the websites of the relevant chambers or employment agencies and take part in training fairs. One example of this is the Apprentice Speed Dating, which will take place on 18 March 2025 in Mosbach, where we will be presenting our company. Further information on the dates in the area of responsibility of the Rhine-Neckar Chamber of Industry and Commerce can be found here.
- New trends: Create regular publications on your company's social media pages to provide information about apprenticeships. You should also offer a digital application option. Saas.de provides a applicant portal to digitalise the application process. After a successful interview and perhaps also an internship, the application documents can be added to thepersonnel files in SaaS.de.
Entering the world of work
To welcome your new trainees, you should consider the following points:
- Welcome: The welcome should be given by a line manager or HR manager
- Company tour: The tour should take place after the welcome to show the trainees the company building or company premises
- Introduction to colleagues: Colleagues should be introduced to the trainee to create a good atmosphere
- Workplace: The trainee is accompanied to their workplace and familiarised with their future tasks.
- Welcome on board: Important topics for new trainees
On the first day of their training, new trainees are familiarised with key topics that are relevant to the company. Training is offered on various important aspects, including
-
- Time recording
- Working time regulations
- Holiday and sickness regulations
- Safe behaviour in the workplace
In particular, the use of SaaS.de for time recording and holiday management is clearly communicated to the trainees so that they quickly become familiar with the internal processes.
Takeover or end of the employment relationship?

If you would like to take on your trainees as permanent employees after their training, you should consider the following points:
- Discuss the future aspirations and ideas of your trainees after their apprenticeship
- Raise the topic of a permanent position with your trainees in good time
- Point out further training opportunities, e.g. subsequent studies or further training
- Make an attractive offer
If you do not wish to take on your trainees after their training, you should note the following points:
- Let the trainees know in writing 3 months before the official end of their training that they will not be taken on
- Provide them with a good reference to make it easier for them to find a job
- Part with your trainees fairly and respectfully
