Training Day Our annual in-house Training Day received very positive feedback this sum- mer. Interested visitors eagerly seized the chance to learn about training opportunities right on our site. In commercial, technical and natural science areas, the training offering is large and varied. Trainers and trainees present their occupations at info stands and trainees tell the young people and their parents about their ex- perience in the working world and offer help with choosing a vocation. In personal conversations the students can ask questions and introduce them- selves. With a tour through the training workshop and a look at practical examples in warehouse logistics, visitors can get a good idea of the highly diversified training offered by Werner & Mertz. Anyone interested in learning more about us and our training opportunities is invited to watch our training film at http://werner-mertz.de/Mediathek/Ausbildungsfilm Made for young adults in search of a suitable training program, the film shows the start of a career at Werner & Mertz through the eyes of our young colleagues. We hope that the film encourages you to submit your digital application via our portal! Annual Participation in the Job Fair Every year at the two-day Job Fair in Mainz, young people and their parents gather information about training opportunities from 108 exhibiting com- panies, institutions, schools and technical colleges. With the interactive of- fering called “Lights on” and the binary clock at the Werner & Mertz booth, we easily made contact with potential applicants and found out which oc- cupational training the young people were interested in. Visitors could learn about training opportunities, participate in workshops for different occupa- tional groups and pick up tips on writing applications. The job information fair was a hit with more than 7,000 visitors. 100 Employees
