Training
+ a Home.

Unpacked my suitcase on Sunday, started work on Monday. Nothing else needed — even the duvet was already there.

Our son moved in at 17. Knowing the landlords personally and being able to call them anytime made the decision very easy.

Clear contract, easy handover, fair deposit. As a father, I sleep well.

A furnished room five minutes from our site has become our best argument in job interviews.

Since our job ads say "furnished room available", young people from all over Germany apply.

From Flensburg I cannot just drop by. All the more important that there are fixed contacts on site.

We cover half the rent. That is cheaper than any recruiting campaign we have ever run.

At the viewing we asked more questions than our son. All were answered patiently.

A bakery means starting at four in the morning. Without a room five minutes away, you will not find anyone for that anymore.

The boy cooks now. Voluntarily. The shared kitchen achieved what I could not in 17 years.

The sentence "we provide the housing" changes every interview. The parents nod, the applicant signs.

As a single mother, the rent was my biggest worry. With BAB and the company subsidy, it is doable.

Early shift from six is no longer a problem. A five-minute walk beats any commuter train.

Großbettlingen is small, quiet, people know each other. Exactly right for a child moving out for the first time.

A dropout due to housing costs us a whole training year. Since the room at A23, we have not had a single one.

A washing machine in the house means the laundry basket no longer comes to me at weekends. I call that progress.

The competition offers €50 more in apprentice pay. We offer a home. Guess who wins.

Our son needs structure. Fixed kitchen rotas and his own responsibility are visibly good for him.

As a haulage company we work in shifts. A bed close to the yard is worth gold to us.

I first saw the room in photos and thought: retouched. In person it was better than the pictures.

First impressions count: an employer who can show applicants a renovated room immediately looks serious.

After the first visit I knew: I do not have to call every week. I still do. She picks up, she is fine.

Our nursing trainee lives at A23 and reaches her workplace in seven minutes. Absences due to commuting: zero.

We are from Cottbus. Without the room, our daughter could never have accepted the apprenticeship in the south.

We split the rent with the apprentice. He learns to budget, we stay attractive. A fair deal.

My husband worked as a fitter and knows grim lodgings. After the viewing he just said: "I would have loved this back then."

Vocational school in Nürtingen, company in Köngen, room in between. Logistically it does not get better.

At first we thought: 500 kilometres, impossible. Now we say: it only worked this way.

We are a two-man company. We could never manage our own apprentice flat — a room at A23 we can.

I am a trained housekeeper and I inspected the bathroom. It passed.

Our apprentice from the Allgäu drives home on Fridays and is back on Sundays. During the week: a five-minute walk.

The company pays part of the rent, BAB covers most of the rest. Our son gets by on his apprentice pay.

The landlords get in touch before anything becomes a problem. That is my idea of a partnership.

From Nürtingen station it is only a few minutes. When we visit, it is easy to do by train.

We compared the room costs with the cost of a temp worker. The decision took five minutes.

I phoned the mother of a flatmate before we agreed. Now we phone regularly.

Well-rested apprentices make fewer mistakes. Sounds trivial, but it saves us real money.

The first home of your own shapes you. I am glad it did not turn out to be a mouldy flat on the outskirts.

For the first time in years we have filled all three apprenticeship positions again.

He keeps track of his own budget now. A fixed all-in price is the best schooling in housekeeping.

Our apprentice's mother asked just one question in the interview: where will he live? We had the answer.

After six weeks he came home for the first time — more independent, calmer, more grown up. It is good for him.

An apprentice with a long commute saves on sleep. One who lives in town saves on nothing.

That rooms becoming available are announced first struck us as fair. No agent, no fees, no bidding war.

Physiotherapy trainees often come from far away. The accommodation question decides whether they accept.

The flat has a cleaning rota that is actually followed. I saw it with my own eyes. It deserves a frame.

The rent subsidy is the best-invested HR budget we have.

As a master electrician I know what to look for: the wiring is new, the Wi-Fi strong, everything tidy.

You will not find toolmakers within ten kilometres anymore. So we enlarge the radius — with a room.

What convinced us: the landlords have children that age themselves. You can tell by how they deal with people.

Two of our apprentices live together at A23. The car pool to vocational school organises itself.

When something is broken, it gets repaired — without chasing three times. We expected the exact opposite.

We moved our meet-and-greet day to A23. The applicants wanted to see the rooms, not the workshop.

An ergonomic chair sounds like a detail. But my son still sits over his training log in the evenings — it matters.

We moved our meet-and-greet day to A23. The applicants wanted to see the rooms, not the workshop.

An ergonomic chair sounds like a detail. But my son still sits over his training log in the evenings — it matters.

I used to commute an hour and a half. Now I get up at 6:45 and I am at the workshop by 7:30. That saved my first year.

We offered an applicant from further away a room right with the contract — he signed. The argument works.

I moved here on my own and found my crowd faster than expected — two fellow apprentices in the flat, one shared kitchen, you end up talking automatically.

I was there on move-in day: clean, bright, freshly renovated. I told my daughter right away: you are staying here.

Our apprentice from Rostock would never have joined us without the room. He is now in his second year.

My daughter is moving out for the first time at 16. The furnished room made the goodbye easier — nothing to haul, nothing to buy.

Our catchment area used to end at Kirchheim. Today we interview applicants from Bavaria and Hesse.

One price including everything — I know every month what will be on the bank statement. Plannable for us as a family.

Two apprenticeship positions stayed unfilled for three years. With the room on offer, both were taken in one summer.

I was afraid of an anonymous dorm feeling. It is the opposite: three rooms, one home.

Our apprentice comes from Dresden. Her mother visited A23 — after that, everything was decided.

Dropped her off on Sunday; on Wednesday she called: "You do not need to worry." Nothing more is needed.

In our apprentice marketing we treat the room like a company car: as a benefit. It works better.

The duvet was already there. Sounds small, but for a mother living 500 kilometres away, it means a lot.

Trial work from 300 kilometres away? We book a room for a week, done. That used to be unthinkable.

We read the rental contract together. No small print, no traps. That has become rare.

Our journeyman of tomorrow lives at A23 today. Short distances, well rested, on time — that is all I want.

The landlords gave us their mobile number. At 400 kilometres distance, that is worth more than any contract clause.

We almost stopped training apprentices. The room quota saved our apprenticeship programme.

Vocational school by bus from the door, workplace on foot — our child needs no car. That saves real money.

I once commuted 90 minutes to my own apprenticeship. I wanted to spare my apprentices that.

The other two in the flat are apprentices too. Everyone understands why it is quiet early on weeknights.

The trades have a golden future — but only if the next generation can find housing. That is exactly what was missing here.

The height-adjustable desk honestly surprised me. She sat worse at home.

After being taken on, our former apprentice simply kept the room. Loyalty also comes from an address.

Fair deposit, clean handover protocol, everything documented. You can tell someone rents out with a system here.

At apprenticeship fairs, parents ask about accommodation first. Now we finally have an answer.

Our daughter is homesick — of course. But she has a room she likes being in. That helps more than you would think.

The applicant market is swept empty. Housing is the one argument nobody has copied yet.

A smart TV in the room means video calls on a big screen. On Sundays we practically sit in the living room together.

I was sceptical whether flat-sharing works. Then I saw the house rules. Better organised than some companies.

We have three children. The middle one lives at A23 — and is the only one who tidies his room voluntarily.

A tax firm does not sound exciting to school leavers. A room of your own for the first year does.

My son is a baker apprentice. Getting up at four only works if you are not already in the car at half past three.

Our third-year painter says she will stay in the region after her journeyman exam. The room was the beginning.

As a father I will put it unromantically: clean condition, clear contract, fixed price. Deal.

Hospitality means finishing at midnight. Without a short way home, you will not find trainees anymore.

Our daughter absolutely wanted the Stuttgart region. It was only affordable this way.

A23 was the reason an applicant from Thuringia contacted us in the first place.

Four of us came on move-in day: mother, father, grandma, apprentice. Grandma inspected the wardrobe and nodded.

E-mobility is booming, skilled workers are scarce. We win them through training plus housing.

I had a list of 14 questions. After the viewing, twelve were already answered.

We write the room straight into the apprenticeship contract. Since then, nobody cancels at short notice.

My daughter takes the train home to Würzburg at weekends. During the week, honestly, she hardly needs us anymore.

Our company is in the industrial park, A23 in the town centre. The apprentice has both within walking distance.

We pay less than for the big sister's student room in Munich — with better furnishings.

I recommend the model to every colleague in the guild. Some arguments do not need to be kept secret.

I was against him moving out at 17. Today I admit: it was the right decision. Do not tell him.

Our hotel trainee has lived at StudentCampus since her flat-share in Stuttgart became unaffordable. She is noticeably more relaxed.

The apprenticeship was his dream, the distance my nightmare. A23 reconciled both.

Training is our only chance at skilled workers. Housing is the prerequisite for it to work.

Seen from Kiel, Großbettlingen is far away. After the first video call from her room, it suddenly felt close.

The apprentice pays one price, everything included. I never have to moderate utility-bill debates. Wonderfully simple.

We parents pay nothing on top. Apprentice pay, company subsidy, BAB — it carries itself. I would not have believed it.
