2. Work based learning including traineeships, apprenticeships and dual learning models, vocational.
With the initiative Europeans@Siemens, Siemens aims to train young Europeans in Berlin. The trainees get complete vocational training as an electrician or mechatronics specialist and they study theory at the Werner von Siemens Vocational School in Berlin. Currently, nearly 2000 young people in 11 European countries are receiving vocational training at Siemens; in Germany, the company has approximately 7000 trainees and students in its cooperative training program.
Siemens focuses on three objectives here:
- Reducing youth unemployment: Vocational training is seen in a positive light and can also be a driver of employee commitment and satisfaction (Siemens as a good corporate citizen).
- Shortage of skilled workers: Securing young talent in the context of demographic change and increasing competition for the best minds.
- Business success: Placement of our technology and products in training workshops, VET schools, and universities.
