We welcome new apprentices
In September, eleven young people began their training at Neuman Aluminium and PREFA. They were welcomed in a ceremony as part of the traditional Welcome Day and accompanied as they took their first steps in their professional lives. A total of 15 apprentices have already started their training at the two companies this year, and 40 apprentices are currently employed at Neuman Aluminium and PREFA.
Strong regional roots
The new apprentices are starting their training at different locations and in different departments of the two companies, with a conscious focus on in-house training. This offers young people in the region attractive prospects and at the same time secures the skilled labor base in Lower Austria in the long term. “Especially in times of skilled labor shortages, it is particularly important to us to promote young talent at an early stage and offer them the best development opportunities,” says Carmen Brandl, Apprentice Management & Human Resources Development at Neuman Aluminium and PREFA.
Comprehensive program for a successful start
The Welcome Day offered the new apprentices a structured introduction: in addition to a welcome from the training managers, the program included a company presentation, safety training, and an introduction to the youth council and works council.
A tour of the company rounded off the day and gave the apprentices a first glimpse of their future workplaces.
The four apprentices who had already started their apprenticeships earlier this year were also invited to the Welcome Day.
Investing in the future
Neuman Aluminium and PREFA are committed to supporting their apprentices with dedication and motivation. “We wish our apprentices lots of fun, exciting experiences, and a successful training period,” said the apprentice training team.
