ThyssenKrupp Steel Announces Recruitment Drive
05/29/2007 - ThyssenKrupp Steel AG is recruiting 200 additional engineers, economists and trainees to support its growth-oriented forward strategy, which includes new facilities in Brazil and the U.S. plus the expansion of a number of existing facilities.
ThyssenKrupp Steel AG recently announced it is recruiting 200 additional engineers, economists and trainees.
TKS — Germany’s biggest steel producer — has launched a broad-based campaign entitled “200 prospects” to find experienced specialists and university graduates. The recruitment drive supports the company’s growth-oriented forward strategy. In addition to its new steel mill currently under construction in Brazil, TKS also has plans in place to build a processing plant in the U.S. The company also plans to expand a number of existing processing facilities in Germany, and is building a new blast furnace at its Duisburg site that is scheduled to start operation at the end of the year.
To meet these growing challenges in Germany and abroad, the company says it needs engineers in various disciplines, economists, IT specialists and scientists. The positions are to be filled before the current fiscal year ends in September 2007.
ThyssenKrupp Steel is also geared to grow in the areas of technical and commercial apprenticeships. Last fiscal year, more than 1500 young people were undergoing apprenticeships at the Duisburg-based company. At 5.6%, the apprentice training rate (i.e. the ratio of apprentices to the overall workforce) was higher than ever. Of the 132 apprentices taking their exams last February, ThyssenKrupp Steel retained 122.
The company’s “Program Future” offers young people sustained employment opportunities: under an agreement running until September 2013, weekly working time for employees has been cut by an hour with a corresponding reduction in pay to create new jobs that will allow a total of 1000 apprentices to be retained over the next six years.
