Asslar, Germany, August 27, 2018. At the beginning of August, 15 young men and women started their vocational training or dual studies at Pfeiffer Vacuum in Asslar. Another two students began one-year internships. In Göttingen, the team was reinforced by three additional industrial trainees. The training spectrum at Pfeiffer Vacuum ranges from commercial and industrial professions to dual study programs in various fields.
Nathalie Benedikt, CFO at Pfeiffer Vacuum Technology AG and amongst other responsible for HR, said: “One of the supporting pillars for the future of our company is training. It allows us to attract young talent early on and to gain their loyalty to the company since the trainees of today are our employees of tomorrow.”
To prevent a shortage of skilled workers, the number of commercial trainees was already increased the previous year. Vocational training in information technology and digitalization is currently the focus for the coming years at Pfeiffer Vacuum. “Pfeiffer Vacuum is a company with high-tech products. Topics such as Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things, Big and Smart Data, Cyber Security and Time-to-Market are issues for our customers and suppliers as well as ourselves and pose new challenges,” continued Benedikt. “But modern technologies and technological relationships are also unbelievably interesting topics in themselves. Our trainees benefit from working in an international, high-tech company which is evolving rapidly and doing so responsibly in the sense of strong corporate social responsibility.”
A particular highlight of a vocational training at Pfeiffer Vacuum is the opportunity to work abroad. We currently have exchanges going in the USA, France, China and Singapore. Language courses in French and English, offered by the company for all employees, provide good preparation for this.
While the new junior staff are starting their professional lives, the application period for the training year 2019 has already begun. Pfeiffer Vacuum will be offering the following vocational training and degree majors in the coming year: industrial clerk, industrial mechanic, warehouse technician, industrial business engineering/engineering specializing in mechanical engineering, software technology and business informatics.
