Start of working life
Training with a future at Schaeffler
20 different training occupations and 12 dual study programs


With the new training year, professional life has begun for ten young people at Schaeffler's Steinhagen location. From the commercial sector, these include two industrial mechanics, three cutting machine operators, two mechatronic engineers and a production technologist. A young person can be trained as a warehouse specialist in the commercial profession. In addition, a high school graduate undertakes a "Two in One" study, which combines training as a cutting machine operator with a dual degree program to become a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering.


Melanie Blut, Head of Training in Steinhagen, welcomed the new apprentices on their first day: "With an apprenticeship you lay the foundation for your professional career. Together, we prepare you for being able to help shape the future of the company as highly qualified employees. "Plant Manager Thomas Lange, HR Manager Franziska Lorentz-Nikola and Works Council Chairman J?rg Schütze also provided tips for starting and continuing at Schaeffler.


The first days at Schaeffler

The first days of apprenticeship at Schaeffler are mainly used to familiarize themselves with processes and the new work environment. Various activities, such as a factory tour, team building and a bowling dinner followed by a dinner, will help future junior staff and their instructors get to know each other better. At the beginning of October, the new trainees from all Schaeffler locations in Germany will then come to Herzogenaurach as the company's headquarters to lay the foundations for a future network.


Qualification for tomorrow with modern training content

E-mobility, Industry 4.0 and digitization are changing products and organizational processes at Schaeffler. As part of the "Agenda 4 plus One" future program, there is the "Qualification for Tomorrow" initiative. The training of junior staff will also be further developed at the Steinhagen location. During their apprenticeship, apprentices at Schaeffler build their own, individual 3D printer: from the manufacture of individual parts to assembly and commissioning, they learn the relationships between mechanics, electronics, software and hardware.


The focus here is on interdisciplinary work and intensive cooperation with various professional groups at Schaeffler. Another component of the "Qualification for Tomorrow" initiative is an intensive supplementary qualification program, which has meanwhile been passed through all trainers in Germany. This includes planning, applying new learning methods, using modern media, but also managing change and dealing with diversity. What is also quite new from autumn onwards is that the previous assessments have been replaced by a "feedback system" in which trainees also give feedback to the trainers.


Great training offer at Schaeffler

At present, the Steinhagen location trains a total of 32 young people. Throughout Germany, Schaeffler offers training at the highest level to around 1,500 young people at 21 locations. The technology company offers training in 20 industrial or commercial occupations as well as the possibility of twelve different dual study programs.
