2022/23 - Number of new training contracts remains almost the same

The number of new training contracts in North Rhine-Westphalia remained almost unchanged in the 2022/23 vocational training year. From October 2022 to September 2023, the state statistics office registered just under 108,400 new contracts, around 360 fewer than a year earlier. However, this was 8.6 percent less than in the pre-corona year 2019. As the authority also reported, the public sector was the only training sector in 2023 in which there were more new contracts than in 2019.

The proportion of female trainees among all new trainees has fallen over the past five years. In 2022/23, it was 35.2 percent. The lowest proportion of female trainees in all new contracts was in the skilled trades in 2023. 4900 of the 28,100 new training contracts were concluded by women, which corresponds to a rate of 17.5 percent. Conversely, male trainees were the least represented in the so-called liberal professions (10.7 percent), accounting for just under 1,300 of 11,700 new contracts. These include medical assistants and legal and notary assistants.
