Training

A vocational perspective

The training of new specialists is a matter of high importance to us and, moreover, one of the most important investments in our future. To achieve this, we place high standards and quality demands on the teaching content. Our apprentices enjoy a special status and receive all-round support with targeted learning tasks.

Solid training with a technical focus not only guarantees excellent prospects in the future for our apprentices but also ensures our continued existence as a company. Outstandingly trained specialists form the basis for our success. Our endeavors are thus extraordinarily high in order to offer apprentices a future in our company even after they have completed their training.

Top: IHK honors best graduates

There was loud applause on November 11, 2022 for 26 young men and women who were honored by the IHK as top graduates. They have taken the best final exams in their profession among approximately 2,000 East Thuringian trainees from 1,300 companies. "They are among the very employees that companies are looking for," said IHK Vice President Udo Staps in his laudatory speech, and also thanked the training companies and vocational schools that closely accompanied them on their path to success.

Maik Heer, training manager at NUMERIK JENA, emphasized the need to train good skilled workers for the region and to keep them in the region. He added that good performance cannot be taken for granted, even with particularly high quality training. "Set yourself new goals, perhaps with a part-time degree as a specialist or master craftsman," Maik Heer appealed to the best in the year.

Paul Büchel, Thuringia's best machining mechanic, and Tobias Junghanns, the best production mechanic in Eastern Thuringia, also provided proof of NUMERIK's exemplary promotion of young talent. Tobias Junghanns decided to join the training company after an internship. "It was the right decision, both for the wide-ranging profession and for the company. I look forward every day to the challenges, including with new products, and working with my colleagues. In any case, I want to continue my education. Being accepted into the IHK's talent program is a great incentive," says Tobias Junghanns.
