Securing the future – Blickle welcomes 16 new trainees
On 1 September 2014, 16 young people took their first step into professional life at Blickle Räder+Rollen in Rosenfeld. The group includes two commercial and seven industrial trainees, as well as seven students of the Cooperative State University Baden-Württemberg (a work/study degree programme supported by the Southern German state).
So that the trainees can get to know the organisation and production processes at Blickle, their training begins with a comprehensive introduction week. This includes time spent in each of the company departments as well as various product training courses. The objective is not only to get an overview of the production range that spans 30,000 wheels and casters, but also to answer all the small questions that new trainees might have, like “Where is the canteen?” or “How does the working time model work?”.
Blickle in Rosenfeld currently has 48 young trainees. At about 10 percent of the workforce, the proportion of trainees is above average. The company trains exclusively for its own skilled personnel requirements and places great emphasis on the quality of training. As the number of trainees has risen steadily along with the growth of the company, the training workshop was expanded last year.
