No tasks in training?

I've been in my IT training for 2 months now and have hardly any tasks when the trainer is there. I sit on my laptop all day. Yes, and should I occupy myself? Read through the topic 3 times what we wanted to discuss for a long time? And then in a conversation about my probationary period I was accused of not being interested.

It is now so that I'm happy and play poker every day whether the instructor comes or not. He is in the home office at least 2 days a week.

But then at least I get orders. Practical.

Oh yes, by the way, my training company is the Bavarian riot police.

And now? Can't you keep yourself busy? Can't you show interest and ask questions, can't you watch other people and learn something like that?

Gu

No. When I ask, he says he couldn't just for me.

Gi

Well then find something for yourself. It doesn't matter who your employer is. Funny that you have to mention it so explicitly

Gu

Why weird?

Gi

Because that's how it comes across.

Gu

Ah.

Contact the responsible IHK. They can help you get another apprenticeship position there.

Gu

Is that anonymous first, i.e. They don't inform my company directly?

Unfortunately, there are always difficult trainers who do not do their job so well.

Do you know of a problem that has to be solved by IT? Or how to optimize / shorten processes? Often a newcomer sees what long-term employees no longer even notice in the data jungle. Think about it and bring your own ideas.

Offer to work for a colleague.

Nothing brings anything, use the time to learn. Take learning material from the school with you or find out more about your area of work and training company. Start programming something yourself - even if it's just for practice. Talk to your predecessor trainees! Maybe they have ideas and tips for you.

If you do not feel properly trained in the long term, the IHK can help you!

Especially Bavarian riot police.

Gu

What's funny about that?

pe

Which riot police in bavaria has an IT department

Gu

How does the IHK help me?

De

Of course, they will first check your information internally. But what do you have to hide when the conditions are as you describe them here. Then you definitely want to get out of there.

Gu

Yes, but if I can't change I have to stay there. And they certainly won't let me stay when I'm at the IHK.

Gu

Oh man… Every company has an IT department. How lost can you be…

De

And what would you have lost then?

Do you want to serve the time there for 3 years now?

Gu

No, but then at least I can stay until the summer, and have no gap in my CV and an income.

De

Do you want to change your current situation, or would you rather sit there warm?

Gu

Both

pe

Well then look for another employer if the police are badly trained!

Gu

I do that too! I have added my company to point out exactly!

Fu

They are the point of contact if the training company does not take sufficient care of their trainees!

Are you still on probation? If so, hold the ball flat. If not, call the IHK for help or speak plainly with the trainer and / or his supervisor.

There are training framework plans that must be used for training! Was that given to you? If not, ask about it and say you need and want to be trained accordingly.

Strange… That the police train so badly…
