The JVR always has an open ear for the apprentices in a company and stands up for their interests. Because many decisions also affect young people.
The Youth Confidence Council (JVR) is an important point of contact for apprentices. He advocates for the concerns of the apprentices with the management. He has an open ear and advises the apprentices personally at all times.
Decisions are often made in companies that also affect young people. Only if the Youth Confidence Council gets involved and brings in the point of view of the apprentices can solutions be found that are also okay for the apprentices.
In most cases, the Youth Confidence Council works closely with the works council .
An argument ensues, someone treats you unfairly, or you saw something that wasn't meant for your eyes? And there it is: the bad gut feeling, the fear of the next working day. What to do? You're not alone!
Every supervisor should be there to help you in word and deed and act if you are treated unfairly.
If there is a youth council in your company, then talk to them. If this is not possible either, you can go to the works council at any time.
If there is neither a youth council nor a works council, contact vida Youth!
IMPORTANT: Document what happened to you. This way, people who help you can better understand the problem or situation. If it becomes too much for you, or if the support at work or in your family is not enough, we will find a solution together with you.
If at least five young employees* are employed in your company, a youth council can be elected. In this way, their special interests are represented.
*Young employees are all employees who have not yet reached the age of 18 and all apprentices who have not yet reached the age of 21.
The Youth Confidence Council shall be active for two years. After that, new elections will be held.
You will become a youth councillor if you are elected in the corresponding election. To be a candidate, you must not have reached the age of 23 on the day of the election announcement and must have been employed in the company for six months or more.
If you have an open ear for the other apprentices in the company and you can imagine standing up for their interests, you've come to the right place!
