Training as SCHWARZ-worker

New trainees have started their professional training

Seven young people started their apprenticeship or dual studies at SCHWARZ on September 1st! In our training professions precision machinist, process technician, mechatronics engineer, industrial clerk and skilled warehouse logistics they will be supported by five trainers. Currently, 17 young people are undergoing training at SCHWARZ.

On the first day, the focus was on getting to know the company and gaining an insight into the future working environment at SCHWARZ. After a round of introductions and a tour of the company, the seven-person group started with the tried and tested trainee quiz. The task was to answer a wide variety of questions about the company and the new colleagues in order to get to know the company quickly. During a joint lunch in the canteen, the "newcomers" took advantage of the opportunity to exchange ideas with the previous trainees and trainers.

During the two LEAN days that followed, they were given an insight into how Gebr. Schwarz deals with the topic of "continuous improvement". In two days of theory and practice, the "newcomers" were able to experience at first hand what lies behind terms such as "store floor", "8V", "5S" and "One Piece Flow". Why Lean Management is so important and what it brings to the company was then presented to the management and the trainers.

The first week of the new training year was concluded with the now traditional trainee excursion. Everyone was very pleased that it could be held despite Corona. The professional team training with the Höfer team demanded full concentration from all participants. Some exciting tasks presented the trainees with greater challenges. The reactions after the mastered exercises ranged from amazement and numerous aha-experiences to relief. Together, everyone had a lot of fun at the end of the day around the campfire.

We are pleased about the successful start of our new apprentices and wish them much success and joy in their training as SCHWARZ workers!
