The new training and study year at HELLER started on 4 September 2023. A total of 30 young people joined the Nürtingen-based company to complete their apprenticeship or studies. This year, HELLER will once again provide the basic and part of the technical training of four guest apprentices from neighbouring companies in the region.
During the social and experiential education days in Tübingen, HELLER junior staff had the opportunity to get to know each other better before starting their first ‘real’ working day at the company last Friday. The young people were officially welcomed by Uli Metz, HR Manager at HELLER, as well as Stefan Haag, Chairman of the Works Committee, and the entire team of educators lead by Martin Schmeckenbecher, Head of Training.
"With your decision to receive training at HELLER, you are giving the starting signal for a successful future career," said Uli Metz during the official welcome of the new apprentices and students, emphasising the excellent reputation of HELLER's vocational training. "A technologically exciting, innovative environment combined with a high social standard is what sets us apart," added Metz. In his welcome address, Martin Schmeckenbecher, Head of Training, focused on the team concept. “We have always placed great emphasis on the spirit of togetherness. And we will continue to do so, because we can only be successful as a team. Of course it also takes the right young people to make that happen – and that is you,“ Schmeckenbecher continued.

Two newcomers are training to become Electronics Technicians in Automation Technology, two have chosen to train as Industrial Clerks and three as Technical Product Designers. In addition, as in previous years, HELLER was once again able to offer places for dual study programmes. This year, two students each will start in Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering, and one each in Computer Science and MechatronicsPlus.
