Thuringia: Thuringian FDP group calls for campaign for apprenticeships

Erfurt (dpa/th) - The Thuringian FDP group has called for a campaign for apprenticeships. "Our country urgently needs heat pump builders, service technicians for wind turbines, fitters for solar systems, air conditioning technicians and plumbers," said Thomas Kemmerich, spokesman for the FDP group in the state parliament on Monday. Young people's interest in topics such as climate and the environment is "enormous". You can build on that. "Anyone who is committed to climate protection can certainly be inspired to advance the energy transition as a specialist," says Kemmerich. At the same time, he called for practical vocational orientation in schools.
