JOBLINGE alumnus: Ciwan Sheko – Retail salesman

Following your own interests and getting support along the way – that was the recipe for success for our alumnus Ciwan Sheko from Halle.
Ciwan is one of ten JOBLINGE alumni we are presenting on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of JOBLINGE gAG Leipzig.

“On the way to my apprenticeship, it was initially difficult to know which industry I wanted to go into – and to get in touch with companies.
What’s more, my German wasn’t that good at the time.

I then did lots of internships in various sectors and decided to train as a retail salesperson at a large electronics retailer, as I am very interested in technology and enjoy helping people to get to know and use the latest technology.
Thanks to the cooperation with JOBLINGE and my patience, I finally managed to get the apprenticeship in the right profession for me.

Doing an apprenticeship is very important because it allows you to plan for the future and life – to achieve your goals.”

JOBLINGE Impact Area – the PLAN A numbers!

PLAN A has been impressively successful – several thousand young people have already registered since 2023! But what’s behind these figures? Here we explain how PLAN A reaches young people who would otherwise fall through the cracks and the role our innovative approach plays in this. 5.000 young people registered with PLAN A since 2023! More and more young people have no training and are increasingly difficult to reach. Around 628,000 young people are not in education, training or employment and remain lost in the school-to-work transition as they are difficult for the system to reach (so-called NEETs). However, PLAN A addresses young people where they actually are – on the street or on social media. Because at JOBLINGE, our primary goal is to help as many young people as possible into training and the world of work in the long term. To achieve this goal, we take various approaches
