"After the long pandemic period, we can finally position ourselves again as an attractive employer in the region and show how much we care about the further development of our employees and managers," said Dr. Michael Zöllinger, Managing Director of Dr.-Ing.
Despite unstable weather conditions and an outside temperature of 10 degrees, ten trainees and six trainers set off with two coaches last Thursday for outdoor team training on the Geislinger Albtrauf.
Attractive apprenticeships at one of the region's hidden champions
With hats, rainwear and thermos flasks in their rucksacks, the team of trainees from the first to third year of training set off. The high diversity of the team was reflected in the wide range of training courses: Chemical laboratory technicians, chemical technicians, industrial clerks, production specialists, surface coaters and industrial mechanics. After a short introduction by two external trainers, the team started with the outdoor course. For the trainees, who started their training on the first of September, the training was also intended to help them get to know each other more quickly in order to be optimally prepared for their new tasks and work in the respective internal teams.
As new members of the "Schlötter family", Managing Director Dr. Michael Zöllinger was particularly keen to introduce the new trainees to the corporate values practised at Schlötter.
Reaching the goal faster and together with team spirit and appreciation
The training focused on teamwork, with particular attention paid to communication with one another, the ability to take criticism and consideration for individual strengths and weaknesses. "Moving the team tasks to the forest was exciting and the best part of the day was getting to know all the Schlötter trainees," said Sarah Habdank, a first-year industrial clerk.
After this training, our trainees and trainers are convinced that such an active workshop has a long-term effect and puts teamwork on a better footing.
