16 trainees start their careers at VAHLE
VAHLE welcomes 16 young professionals at the start of the new training year.
Paul Vahle GmbH & Co. KG welcomed 16 new apprentices at the start of the new training year. The trainees are learning various industrial and commercial professions at the system provider for mobile industrial applications. During the orientation phase, the new recruits gain an insight into the various departments and get to know their colleagues.
"Rarely has it been so difficult to recruit well-trained specialists. This makes it all the more important for our company to establish an excellent system for promoting young talent and to get young people excited about our industry," says Kathrina Adelsberger, Co-Training Manager at Paul Vahle GmbH. With the 16 new trainees, the Kamen-based systems provider now employs a total of 42 trainees. "This shows us that our intensive efforts are paying off and that VAHLE is perceived as an attractive training company and a future-oriented company," says Adelsberger happily.
At the start, Henning Stelte, member of the Management Board, welcomed the new arrivals. In the coming days, various training courses and initial instructions will be held to make it easier for them to start their careers. Another part of the orientation phase is a trainee etiquette course and a company rally where the new arrivals can explore the factory premises. The training manager emphasizes: "Our absolute priority is that our trainees quickly become part of the VAHLE family and feel at home in our company." A special highlight of the first few days each year is the fire drill, which is always a hot topic. At the end of the orientation phase, there will also be a joint excursion with all trainees in the coming week.
The 16 young people starting their careers at VAHLE are following different career paths. The group consists of two prospective warehouse specialists, two metal technology specialists, three production mechanics, one industrial electrician, one technical product designer, five industrial clerks and one IT specialist for system integration. VAHLE will take on one person directly into the second year of training after a successful six-month entry qualification. Adelsberger's colleague Thorsten Röhr is particularly pleased about the growing diversity in the company: "For the first time, we now have two female trainees in our ranks at the same time in industrial professions. A first for VAHLE."
The family-owned company is already looking for new trainees for the coming year.
