Additional apprenticeship places<br />
Man ramps up its training capacity,<br />
creating additional apprenticeships<br />
at its sites in germany.<br />
For the start of this year’s vocational training program, the <strong>MAN</strong> Group will be<br />
taking on one more trainee than originally planned at each of its German production<br />
sites. This marks the company’s contribution to the campaign launched by<br />
the IG Metall metals union in North Rhine - Westphalia under the slogan “One<br />
extra training slot per company”, which <strong>MAN</strong> Diesel & Turbo has already taken<br />
part in. According to Jörg Schwitalla,Chief Human Resources Officer at <strong>MAN</strong> SE,<br />
“fostering young talent is a key factor in <strong>MAN</strong>’s ability to compete. We need young<br />
and motivated people to remain globally competitive with our products and<br />
services in the future.” Participating in the campaign, adds Schwitalla, will give<br />
even more young people the opportunity to develop their talents, ideas and desire<br />
to perform well, as they become acquainted with the diverse range of <strong>MAN</strong>’s technologies.<br />
Overall, there are about 2,000 trainees working in <strong>MAN</strong>’s German plants<br />
and sales offices, with the worldwide total at around 2,900.
