Career entry at Vahle: 16 young people start their training

"The future of not only our company but of the entire industry lies in the next generation. That's why we at Vahle specifically promote the professional development of our trainees right from the start. And so we are delighted to welcome another 16 young talents this year," says Kathrina Adelsberger, Head of Training at Vahle. With today's start of the training year, the Kamen-based company employs a total of 42 trainees. "Over the next two or three years, the young talents will lay the foundations for their professional future. To ensure a successful and varied start, we are once again offering a comprehensive induction program," says Adelsberger.

After the official welcome by Chief Sales Officer Thomas Barthel, the focus was initially on getting to know each other. Initial program items such as a presentation of the company's history and instructions on occupational safety and fire protection rounded off the kick-off. In the coming days, the trainees can expect a varied program, including basic training on products and industries, introductions to their rights and obligations during their training, company tours and individual insights into the respective professional fields by their trainers. The official start in the specialist areas is on August 7. A special highlight will follow on August 26, when all trainees across all year groups will meet for a joint networking excursion: "The excursion promotes togetherness and remains a very special memory for our trainees every year," says Adelsberger.

The new intake at the Kamen-based company consists of four prospective industrial clerks, one IT specialist for system integration, one technical product designer and one technical product designer, two warehouse specialists, one electronics technician for devices and systems, one industrial electrician and one electronics technician for industrial engineering and four production mechanics. "It is particularly pleasing that three young women have opted for an apprenticeship at Vahle this year, two of them in technical fields," says Adelsberger happily.

Another highlight for all trainees will follow on September 16, when 14 newly qualified specialists will be honored at the congratulatory event for the graduating class of 2025.
