Collaboration for training

Ober-Ramstadt, 16th March 2015 (DAW SE) - The struggle to find young talent is in full swing. Professional and innovative marketing of apprenticeships is the order of the day for enterprises. With this awareness the Deutschen Amphibolin Werke (DAW SE) specifically approaches potential job applicants. It provides a forward-looking course which also comprises initiatives with other companies. In collaboration with regional companies the building paints and insulation system manufacturer, DAW SE from Hesse's Ober-Ramstadt, wants to make the subject of vocational orientation tangible to school leavers. To achieve this target a strategic partnership with the Sanner Group in Bensheim and Pirelli Deutschland GmbH at the Breuberg site has been started. The objective is to offer interested students from regional schools practical insights into technical vocations which form a focus in all three of the companies offering apprenticeships. During a major "Technology Day" on 9th July 2015 with the topic "Industry, Technology, Production – Experience qualified vocations close up" the companies will not only present their established qualified vocations, but rather also provide information on operating structures and career opportunities. To show that this is not all talk and no action, after a joint introductory event the participants explore the individual companies on their premises. A shuttle bus takes them directly to the companies. Here, they spend 90 minutes experiencing the operation close up and authentically. In the main plant of DAW SE the apprenticeships Production Specialist in Chemistry and Chemical Laboratory Assistant are presented. In the German headquarters of Pirelli and at Sanner the focus is in each case on the apprenticeship "Process Mechanic for Plastics and Rubber Technology". After the intensive insights into the operations of the regional employers a joint concluding event for all participants is planned in Burg Frankenstein (Mühltal). With the new partnership DAW SE is giving a comprehensive insight into the technical qualified vocations and is offering vocational starters a high potential for specialist, personal development at national and international levels. The qualifying operation supports and supervises starters on the career path to prepare them optimally for the demands of the industry in international competition. No matter whether in production, development, administration, marketing, training or services, well-trained and committed employees are indispensable for company growth, particularly in times of increased market demands. The objective is to arouse and maintain enthusiasm at all levels. Since 1895 DAW, now in its fifth generation, has developed, produced and sold innovative coating systems. The independent family company has continued to grow to become the third largest manufacturer of building paints in Europe and for decades has been the market leader in Germany, Austria and Turkey.
