Zanders has welcomed six new apprentices to commence the new training year. The two new employees will each learn the professions of paper technologist, mechatronics engineer and machine and plant operator at the Gohrsmühle paper mill.

The Zanders apprentices serving as paper technologists (PT), mechatronics technicians (ME) and machine and plant operators are: Mike Richter (day foreman paper production, instructor PT and MP), Onur Yilmaz (PT), Olegs Snikers (ME), Daniel Nadrop (ME), Nazem Hassan (MP), Norbert Mueller (PT), Patrick Pascoa (MP) and Thomas Cuerten (master electrician maintenance, instructor ME).

Thomas Döring, head of human resources at Zanders, says, “As in previous years, we were able to successfully fill all offered apprenticeships. This shows that Zanders is still regarded as an attractive employer and that the company continues to invest in his personal future.”

Zanders is offering training as a machine and plant operator for the second time this year.

The concept proves to be successful, explains Döring. “With the new training, we were able to arouse the interest of young people, for whom a job at a paper producer was previously out of the question. In addition to the industry-specific paper technologist, with the mechatronics engineer and the machine and plant operator, we now offer two further trainings that open up new perspectives for young people.”
