2020 training year gets underway at Heidelberg – digitization continues to gain momentum

September 9, 2020  By Heidelberger Druckmaschinen 
0


  • Another 99 trainees start at Heidelberg sites in Germany
  • Increasingly digital content makes training portfolio more attractive
  • Training places to rise in the years ahead
  • Applications open for 2021 training year

The training year at Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) started on September 1, 2020. Despite the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, another 99 young men and women are embarking on their training or dual study courses at one of the company’s four sites in Wiesloch-Walldorf, Brandenburg, Amstetten, and Ludwigsburg. The focus is on production-related careers, such as training as a mechanic, mechatronics engineer, electronics engineer, or logistician. Digital learning content utilizing cutting-edge technologies is becoming increasingly important as digitization spreads throughout all areas of the company and new digital business models come to the fore. Practical examples include the use of augmented reality technology during service and maintenance work on presses, for instance. This trend applies across the board, to commercial specialties and dual study courses in all disciplines, as well as to technical and IT-related careers.

Great interest in dual study courses

The popularity of dual study courses is growing ever higher, and not just because they integrate theory and practical projects in the company. Here, too, digitization is playing a key role. For example, the dual study course in Digital Media/Media Management and Communication covers technical principles for e-commerce and mobile applications, followed by planning media projects, media research, and media automation. The Business IT course teaches key business management and information technology skills. All the dual study courses center on participants developing their own ideas and trying them out in practice at the earliest possible opportunity.

“We invest in up-and-coming talent, and as the world market leader in sheetfed offset presses we offer the best opportunities for highly skilled training, which then generally leads on to a permanent employment contract,” says Prof. Rupert Felder, Head of Human Resources at Heidelberg. “This year, as in previous years, we took on practically all our newly qualified trainees, as we need young people with their ideas and passion – an important investment in the future of Heidelberg.”

Applications already open for 2021 training year

Applications are already being taken for training and study courses starting in September 2021. School grades are not the only deciding factor when it comes to a training place at Heidelberg. Just as important are applicants’ social skills, personality, and attitude to their career. A full range of information about vocational training at Heidelberg and the application portal can be found on the company’s website .

In light of demographic trends and the ongoing digital transformation, the company is planning to progressively increase the number of training places in the years ahead. With primarily older employees retiring in the medium term, Heidelberg will continue to need trainees with an interest in various information technologies and exciting careers in a digital production environment. The company currently employs around 300 trainees at its four sites, approximately 230 of whom are based at the largest site, Wiesloch-Walldorf.

Image 1: At the Heidelberg site in Wiesloch-Walldorf alone, over 70 young people began their training/study course on September 1, 2020. In total, the figure was 99 for the company’s four sites in Germany.
