Zanders is continuing to invest in its personal future, as it welcomes six new employees to start the new training year. Two apprentices each will learn the professions of paper technologist, mechatronics engineer and machine and plant operator at the company’s Gohrsmühle mill.

For the first time, Zanders is offering the apprenticeship as a machine and plant operator in order to make the training more attractive and flexible.

The team includes Martón Turbucz, machine and plant operator; Tim Wätzold, paper technologist; Serhat Aydin, mechatronics engineer; Walid Kheder, machine and plant operator; Christoph Michel, mechatronics engineer; and Lucas Steller, paper technologist.

Thomas Döring, head of human resources at Zanders, says, “The aim of the new training is to arouse the interest of young people who were previously not interested in working for a paper producer. In addition to the industry-specific paper technologist, with the mechatronics engineer and the machine and plant operator, we can now offer two trainings, which will open up new perspectives for young people.”

The application process for 2019 has already begun, and all three apprenticeships provide several places to be allocated, Döring adds.
