At Beckhoff, training has a long tradition
In September 2004, a total of 25 high school graduates started
their career in one of the Elektro Beckhoff GmbH businesses. Beckhoff regards
qualified training of apprentices as a social responsibility, but also as
the basis for its own economic future. Apprentices ensure continuity of qualified staff at Beckhoff. Practical training combined with theory classes at vocational college prepare future staff for subsequent employment at the company.
Across Germany, Beckhoff Group currently has 82 apprentices, 69 of which are based at Verl (Germany). The sectors of industrial electronics, building services and electronics supplies offer a wide range of career options including the following: office or industrial business management assistants, IT technicians, electronics technicians for industrial engineering, equipment & systems, and energy and building services.
Managing director Hans Beckhoff comments on the company’s ongoing commitment to training of apprentices: “Qualified training has a long tradition at Beckhoff. It secures our operational future and provides jobs for the apprentices. During recent years, we were regularly able to offer continued employment to almost all apprentices. Many young people who trained with us go on to take a degree and subsequently return to us. We are an innovative global company, offering young people a wide range of professional development opportunities.”
