Cologne, September 3, 2024 – DEUTZ has welcomed a new intake of apprentices: Nine young women and 38 young men start their training program in nine vocations at the engine manufacturer, along with the reintroduction of the commercial apprenticeships after 14 years. The apprentice at the site in Herschbach started on August 1, while the others started in Ulm on September 1, and in Cologne on September 2 and September 3.
Every year, the Onboarding Days in Cologne, ensure a smooth start into DEUTZ day-to-day life. The new recruits get a firsthand look into the company, explore their new work environment, and meet their colleagues.
Timo Krutoff, CFO and Labor Director of DEUTZ AG, welcomed the new talents: “We are delighted that the number of new apprentices has increased compared to the previous year, not least due to the resumption of commercial apprenticeships at DEUTZ. By providing in-house training, we enable our junior employees to acquire the key skills they need for a successful career in a practice-oriented manner.”
105 years ago, DEUTZ launched their internal education program. The diversified program prepares the apprentices for the final exam set by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce. In cooperation with partners, further 24 recruits can acquire their professional skills in modular or full training at DEUTZ Factory for Talents training center.
Every year, the application process for DEUTZ apprenticeships start after the summer holidays. Prospective trainees can apply now for the upcoming apprenticeships in 2025.
Since September 1, 2024, DEUTZ offers for the first time in cooperation with FOM University of Applied Sciences for Economics and Management in Cologne and HSD University of Applied Sciences in Düsseldorf a dual study program in the areas of IT, mechanical engineering, and economics. The primary goal is to train young professionals who acquire both theoretical knowledge and practical experience in their respective fields at DEUTZ to secure the long-term demand for qualified specialists.
