Happy 25th birthday to Chicago's Christkindlmarket. A tradition loved across the nation, this week's episode is close to home for Ioanna and Aaron. Chicago's Christkindlmarket began in 1996 as a way to promote bilateral trade between Germany and the United States. Since then, it's been warming Chicagoan's hearts as an annual must-attend Christmas tradition! Famous for its mulled wine, delicious German Bratwrust, giant pretzels, roasted nuts, gorgeous ornaments, and of course hearty German beers, there's something for all to enjoy under the city skyline. We spoke with Leila Schmidt, the Manager for Marketing and Intercultural Communication at the German American Chamber of Commerce of the Midwest. Leila helps run their two locations each year and gives us some insight into how it all goes down. We learned about the origins of the market and how it has evolved into the nation's best Christmas Market. Leila also shared the story behind their mega-famous mugs which feature German artwork and taught us about who actually works in the vendor booths. Plus, a peek into the wild logistical world of running an outdoor market during the coldest time of the year! We end the episode chatting about some of Leila's market must-eats and Aaron shares his family's market ornament tradition.

One thing we haven't given enough time to on this show? Sales engineers. It's a lucrative career path, and the people that do that job play a vitally important role. Meanwhile, we've barely mentioned them. (Sorry.) We fix that this week by talking to Lisa Conturo of the German American Chamber of Commerce, who are making a conscious effort to bring the German apprenticeship model to cities like Pittsburgh. Lisa and the GACC have actually developed a nicely compensated sales engineering apprenticeship that combines classroom learning with practical on-the-job training (OJT) that gives the learner thousands of hours of experience before they graduate.
Jeana, Claudia, and Michael discuss the current state of education in the USA, contrasting it with the apprenticeship model in German, Austria, and Switzerland. The GAI Symposion, will take place on: Friday, April 12, 2019 | 6–9 PM | Free and open to the public Learn about the German Dual Education system, an alternative to the failing “college for all” model. These “earn and learn” apprenticeships benefit students and employers.

Speakers include representatives from the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry PIPELINE and Apprenticeship Minnesota programs, White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce and White Bear Lake Area School District, and the Industry Consortium for Advanced Technical Training (ICATT), Chicago.

Hermle Machine Co., a manufacturer of high-end machine tools, annually employs 100 to 120 apprentices in its German operations. The apprentices make up about 13% of that workforce.
