Apprenticeship Day with Open Training Center
At Kuhn Special Steel, we often like to take the opportunity to talk to interested students at apprenticeship fairs and sometimes open our in-house training center for authentic insights into everyday training. Continue reading
In the increasingly challenging endeavor to fill vacant training positions, Kuhn Special Steel is increasingly looking for the opportunity to introduce itself personally to interested pupils and parents. Training fairs offer a good opportunity for this.
“Here, we can make direct contact with students who are about to graduate,” says Grischa Hopmeier, Industrial Training Manager at Kuhn, emphasizing the unbeatable advantage of such events over other self-advertising formats, adding: ”Of course, we can convey the benefits of an apprenticeship with us much more convincingly in a personal conversation than through advertisements or flyers, for example.” Paper is patient, so they say, and in the case of many young people today, it is also irrelevant.
Kuhn Special Steel also opened its training center to the trade fair public as part of the Apprenticeship Day, which took place in Radevormwald at the end of February. Visitors were able to take a shuttle bus to the company and gain an impression of the well-equipped 600 sq. m. training center and the production areas.
The current Kuhn trainees themselves organized the guided tour of the company and the presentation of the various training professions based on the different machining processes. “This is a good practical exercise for our trainees and an authentic experience for the pupils who come to visit us,” says Hopmeier, ”and they have the opportunity to talk to our trainees about training here at Kuhn and gain a positive impression.”
Opening the Kuhn Special Steel training center for such events is also a clever move, as the premises are impressively well equipped, tidy and clean. Parents and students are often pleasantly surprised at how organized and exemplary the training operation at Kuhn is.
