Weinheim, 2 September 2024. The number of apprenticeships at the Freudenberg Group in Weinheim remains high after a 40 percent increase in the previous year. ‘As a global company with technologies for the future, from mobility and energy supply to medical technology, Freudenberg is sending a clear signal against the shortage of skilled workers in its 175th year of existence,’ said Dr. Frank Heislitz, CTO of the Freudenberg Group, welcoming the new intake of trainees. ‘It also demonstrates the responsibility we take to invest in the long-term future of young people.’ Raúl González, Head of the Training Centre, added: ‘70 young talents are starting their training at Freudenberg, mainly in technical fields. The opportunities afterwards are also very good: the retention rate is 95 per cent. We are also training 54 apprentices for partners in the network.’ A total of 124 young people are starting their training at the modern training centre, an increase of around 8 percent. Worldwide, the Freudenberg Group is training around 500 young people in 15 countries for the labour market of the future.
‘Freudenberg offers training in a modern learning environment that includes digital learning and working with high-tech machines in interdisciplinary teams and an international working environment,’ says González. All training areas in the training centre use digital devices such as touch monitors or tablets. An area for independent learning also enables interactive learning. The trainees and students work in interdisciplinary teams, create learning maps and solve tasks in teamwork.
