Even after over 100 years of company history, the FRICKE Group is one of the most important training companies in the Elbe-Weser region. This year a total of 98 young people across Germany opted to do an apprenticeship or dual study programme with the company. With a total of 308 apprentices and dual students, the FRICKE Group has now set a new training record.
On 1st August, twelve aspiring wholesale and foreign trade management clerks, two IT specialists, two e-commerce clerks, eight dual students, three warehouse logistics specialists and two mechatronics technicians for systems engineering started at the FRICKE Group headquarters in Heeslingen. A welcome event was organised to give the new starters a deeper insight into the group, where they were also welcomed by the management team.
Three agricultural and construction machinery mechatronics technicians started their training at FRICKE Landmaschinen at the beginning of August, with three automotive mechatronics technicians also starting at FRICKE Nutzfahrzeuge.
The high regard for vocational training is a tradition within the FRICKE Group, and this is demonstrated by their modern and versatile training programme. Apprentices and dual students not only get to know different departments and companies within the group, but also have the opportunity to gain practical experience at one of the many locations abroad. In addition to this practical experience, the chance to work for several weeks in other European countries or at locations in the USA or India opens up numerous opportunities for personal development. The group also offers fantastic opportunities for apprentices to think outside the box. In addition to the apprentice exchange programme between FRICKE Landmaschinen in Lower Saxony and FRICKE Landtechnik in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, apprentices also take part in exciting excursions to the CLAAS production facilities in Harsewinkel and Le Mans in France.
In addition to the professional advantages, the FRICKE Group offers its apprentices and dual students many other benefits. The regular trainee events are particularly popular. From barbecues with the management team to exclusive event partnerships such as last weekend’s Ferdinands Feld festival featuring a FRICKE stage with regional DJs, FRICKE offers numerous highlights for apprentices and students.
“We are committed to meeting the challenge of attracting, nurturing and retaining talented individuals year on year. When it comes to training, we look for talented young people at any stage in their careers. We are constantly reinventing ourselves to ensure that we continue to be an attractive employer,” explains Carsten Deter, Head of Human Resources at the FRICKE Group.
