Apprenticeship training<br />
In Germany <strong>ThyssenKrupp</strong> is training 4,239 apprentices in more than 55 occupations, most of them<br />
industrial or technical. 1,312 young people started an apprenticeship with <strong>ThyssenKrupp</strong> in 2011. 170 fulltime<br />
trainers and numerous training officers provide high-quality, practical training which resulted in 92% of<br />
apprentices passing their final exams in the reporting year.<br />
In addition to traditional apprentice training, integrated degree programs are now well established at<br />
<strong>ThyssenKrupp</strong>. More than 70 such programs are currently available to our apprentices. We have also been<br />
running the TOPSIM business management game for 20 years, in which several teams of apprentices take<br />
over the management of a virtual company. The game enables them to acquire and strengthen a business<br />
mindset and social skills.<br />
Health and safety a priority<br />
Our Groupwide “zero accidents” initiative is aimed at making working in our production operations and<br />
offices even safer – and it is paying dividends. The accident rate in the reporting year fell by 17% compared<br />
with the prior year to 8.5 accidents per 1 million hours worked. Accidents have decreased by 42% over the<br />
past four years.<br />
We provided management training for the first time in China in 2010/2011; a similar program is now being<br />
prepared for Brazil. A new health and safety management manual provides valuable information on how<br />
Group companies can provide even better protection from accidents for their employees and systematically<br />
develop their health and safety programs.<br />
In the future we intend to integrate our global health and safety activities more closely. To this end, standard<br />
international healthcare structures and processes are being developed at several centers of competence<br />
under the coordination of corporate headquarters. One example is the bowel cancer screening campaign,<br />
which took place simultaneously at all German locations for the first time in 2011. Around 14,000<br />
employees took part.
