Starting a career is something special for every young person. In August 2024, Klingelnberg once again welcomed 22 young apprentices who started their training in various professions. During the orientation week in early August 2024, the trainees had the opportunity to demonstrate their teamwork skills in the climbing park in Hückeswagen, Germany, attend a first aid course, and learn about the company’s values.

“We are very much looking forward to working with the new group of trainees,” said Michael Schwarzer, human resources manager at Klingelnberg. “As a globally active engineering company that also provides apprenticeship opportunities, we are happy to invest in the careers of future skilled workers and thus in our own future viability. The reasons why up-and-coming professionals chose to train at Klingelnberg are often similar. Many trainees had already completed a school internship with us beforehand and gotten to know the company.” 

Robin Müller, a future electronics technician for industrial engineering, explained: “My interest in Klingelnberg was sparked by Mr. Schwarzer after the company supported our school by providing physics experiment sets. The three-week internship here then completely convinced me to apply.”

Lukas Bonk, an apprentice industrial mechanic, chose to train at the mechanical engineering company because of its good reputation. He noted: “My goal is to continue learning and developing my professional skills after my apprenticeship.”

Leon Ruben Niedermeier was also attracted by the company's reputation: “I heard so much about the company that I applied to become a warehouse logistics specialist. I am convinced that I will not only learn, but also have a lot of fun at work.” 

Leon Kool, a future cutting machine operator, hopes to be hired after his training and appreciates the opportunities for further training at Klingelnberg. “The excellent training opportunities were one of the reasons I chose the company,” he explained. “After my apprenticeship, I plan to complete my vocational baccalaureate and possibly take the master craftsman’s exam.”

Maximilian Mengel opted for the dual apprenticeship as an industrial clerk because he had the opportunity to complete his vocational baccalaureate at the same time as his apprenticeship. “After I finish my apprenticeship, I can also imagine studying for a professional degree,” he reflected.
