Night of Apprenticeships: Companies can register now

On Thursday, 20 November 2025, the "Night of Apprenticeships" in the Borken district will enter its sixth round. From 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., companies in Bocholt and throughout the district will open their doors to introduce themselves as training companies to young people, parents and other interested parties.

The aim of this regional event is to support young people in their career orientation and to give companies the opportunity to get to know potential trainees personally and to present their company.

The participating companies present themselves at their own location in an open format, allowing pupils to find out first-hand about training opportunities, everyday working life and career opportunities - and make direct contact with trainers and trainees.

This year, the event will be accompanied by an extended social media campaign for the first time. In addition to Instagram, TikTok will also be used as a platform to achieve an even greater reach among young people. Another new feature is a district-wide competition: pupils who take part in the "Night of Apprenticeships" and visit companies have the chance to win attractive prizes. Companies in Bocholt that would like to take part in the "Night of Training" in the Borken district in 2025" can now register via the updated "Night of Training" website in the Borken district. Free advertising materials such as posters and flyers are available there, and additional advertising materials can be ordered via a web shop.

Wirtschaftsförderung Bocholt is part of the organisation team and is looking forward to a lively participation. "In recent years, the event has become established and is included in the annual planning of companies, universities and secondary schools. Bocholt companies that have not yet participated are cordially invited to become part of this format and present themselves as an attractive training company", says Astrid Lukas from Bocholt's business development department, hoping that the number of participants from local companies will rise to over 70 this year. In 2024, 67 Bocholt companies took part.

The background:

The "Night of Training" in the Borken district is a joint initiative of all municipalities in the Borken district, organised in close cooperation with the Borken district's business development agency. Last year, around 450 companies took part, presenting over 200 training occupations. The event has thus established itself as an important building block for the promotion of dual training in the district and has also become a firm fixture in the calendar of secondary schools.
