ThyssenKrupp Steel Celebrates Apprenticeship Graduation
06/26/2008 - Fifty-six ThyssenKrupp Steel AG apprentices pass their 2008 summer examination and are now entering into working life.
Fifty-six ThyssenKrupp Steel AG apprentices recently passed the 2008 summer examination at the Duisburg Chamber of Industry and Commerce and are now entering into working life.
Following an interview process, the company is planning to retain 52 apprentices, 51 on time-limited contracts and one on a permanent contract. It is expected that the time-limited contracts will convert into permanent contracts within twelve months.
“The fact that we are retaining so many is due to the Program Future agreed in summer 2006, which offers young people a greater chance of long-term employment at ThyssenKrupp Steel,” commented ThyssenKrupp Steel HR Director Kroll.
In addition to having an apprentice ratio in excess of its own needs, ThyssenKrupp Steel is continuing the "Chance" project that it launched in association with the Agentur für Arbeit (Employment Agency). The Chance project offers work prospects to applicants who do not satisfy the regular apprenticeship requirements. ThyssenKrupp Steel is continuing this successful project in fiscal 2007/2008 with an offer of 23 pre-qualification places. Since this initiative started, 67 out of 94 participants have earned an apprenticeship place, the vast majority being with ThyssenKrupp Steel.
The application process for new recruits is already in full swing. After the application process ends on September 1, 2008, the company expects that another 343 young people will begin their apprenticeship in the autumn at ThyssenKrupp Steel sites, 228 in Duisburg alone.
