The cover of this Motion, with its focus on recruiting, employer branding, and young professionals, shows how the training team at STUDER is preparing for the international professional championship WorldSkills 2024 in Lyon, France.
The motif was created during training at STUDER in Thun, Switzerland, on some of the country’s most modern training machinery. STUDER apprentices regularly take top places in national and international competitions, which shows that their training is among the best in the world and that they enjoy doing it.
There are often complaints today about how difficult it is for manufacturing companies to find well-motivated young professionals. At UNITED GRINDING Group, we can only confirm this to a limited extent. We're looking for employees and specialists for our companies on three continents, and find very different conditions in each case.
Of course, we are also in competition for the best talent. But we have proven experience that the high quality of the training we offer plays a major role in the successful recruitment of young professionals.
To convince young applicants, our industry needs to show how we work and what we work on because there are often outdated perceptions about this. We no longer have any noise or oily workbenches, but rather our factories are super clean, bright, and quiet. We employ hundreds of software engineers. What we do is precision technology, often at the physical limits, which makes many industrial products possible in the first place. I think that’s one of the best offers for young people who want to make a difference in their profession.
In this Motion, we show how attractive the UNITED GRINDING Group is as an employer in a series of reports from a wide range of perspectives. This means that our customers can continue to rely on us to have the best specialists thinking about how we can contribute to their success with optimal solutions.
