The waning number of industry newcomers and the general shortage of skilled labour are pressing problems in the metalworking industry. AMB exhibitors have also reported unfilled traineeships and the struggle to find skilled workers. To help counteract this problem, the International Exhibition for Metalworking (AMB) – taking place this year on 13–17 September in Stuttgart – will focus on the diverse career opportunities in this industry. “We are always in touch with our AMB exhibitors and, as Messe Stuttgart, will play our part in tackling the skilled worker shortage. For this reason, we want AMB 2022 to be a marketplace for not only innovations and products but also new metalworking talent. Our location closely connects us with an economically strong region and we would like to take advantage of this to provide school leavers and university graduates with comprehensive information about a future in the field of metalworking,” says Roland Bleinroth, President of Messe Stuttgart. The trade fair will once again be a hub for experienced professionals – but will also offer emerging talent and start-ups a platform for further education and networking. What can AMB 2022 visitors and exhibitors expect in terms of education, traineeship and start-up opportunities?
