In Mulheim, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saxony, and Schleswig-Holstein trainees are making their mark, as they are among those registered in the city. However, the exact numbers and distribution of these trainees across the cities of Mulheim, Essen, Oberhausen, and Duisburg remain unclear due to the limitations of an interactive map developed by IT.NRW.

The map, created by the IT.NRW department, provides a snapshot of the number of trainees in the dual system registered at the end of last year. It shows that Mulheim has the highest share of trainees (44%), with Essen, Oberhausen, and Duisburg following in order, although their exact percentages are not specified.

Despite the map's usefulness, it does not provide information on the number of trainees who find jobs in other cities or districts, nor does it specify the exact percentages of trainees in Essen, Oberhausen, and Duisburg. Furthermore, the data used in the interactive map may have changed since its collection, and the provided search results do not contain specific or updated information regarding the distribution changes of dual system trainees in these cities since last year.

The employment agency, aware of these limitations, advises trainees not to limit their job search to their own city. In fact, trainees who are spatially flexible often find a better-suited position in other cities or districts. This is particularly true for those who move to their employer's city after signing the contract, sometimes with a delay.

It is worth noting that many trainees from other cities or districts are found working in Mulheim. The situation may have changed since the data was collected, so for precise and up-to-date information, it may be necessary to consult official local education authorities, chambers of commerce, or vocational training institutions in these cities directly.

In conclusion, while the interactive map developed by IT.NRW offers a valuable starting point for understanding the distribution of dual system trainees in Mulheim, Essen, Oberhausen, and Duisburg, it is essential to remember its limitations and seek further information from relevant local authorities when required.
