315 new apprentices start work at ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe AG on September 1 - Applications for 2013 now being accepted
The
new apprentice training year at ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe AG starts today. As of
September 1 the company is taking on 315 new apprentices in 20 different
occupations, bringing the total number of ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe's own
apprentices to around 1,140. Added to this are roughly 300 apprentices from
other companies being trained on a contract basis. Apprenticeship training is
provided at the company's Duisburg, Bochum, Dortmund, Hagen-Hohenlimburg,
Kreuztal-Eichen and Finnentrop sites. "By providing high-level apprentice
training well beyond its own needs, Germany's biggest steel producer fulfills
its social responsibility for the future of the region," emphasizes Dieter
Kroll, Chief Human Resources Officer at ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe.
Apprentices in Duisburg, Bochum, Dortmund,
Hagen-Hohenlimburg, Finnentrop, Siegerland
191 new
apprentices will start work in Duisburg, 57 on commercial apprenticeships and
134 learning industrial/technical occupations. In Bochum there are 49 new
apprentices (three commercial, 46 industrial/technical), and in Dortmund 36
(three commercial, 33 industrial/technical). In Hagen Hohenlimburg 67 young
people will start work, three undergoing commercial and 64 industrial/technical
training; here ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe carries out training for local
companies. In the Siegerland region the total intake of 33 includes eight
commercial and 25 industrial/technical apprentices; at the Finnentrop site there
are six new apprentices in total, including two commercial. Apprenticeships
generally last three or three-and-a-half years. This can be shortened to
two-and-a-half or three years for apprentices showing above-average performance
Introductory week eases start to working
life
To ease the transition from school to working life, all
the newcomers will attend an initiation course from Monday to Friday - the
company has been organizing this popular introductory week for more than 20
years. For example, the Duisburg-based apprentices are split into groups of
roughly 50 and spend the week at youth hostels in Bad Neuenahr and
Oer-Erkenschwick. This gives them the opportunity to get to know each other,
their trainers and team leaders outside of work. In self-prepared presentations
and interviews the apprentices introduce themselves to the others and pick up
useful tips and essential information about their new work environment. For
example: What products does ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe make? How is the company
organized? But also: Where can I park? Where is the canteen? Where do I get my
company ID card? A key focus of the introductory week is health and safety -
this is particularly important for people starting out on their careers who,
experience has shown, frequently make mistakes due to a lack of knowledge. City
tours, barbecue evenings and social activities round out this highly popular
program.
