WHAT OUR TRAINEES SAY

“I completed my apprenticeship as an industrial management assistant in 2021 after three successful years at HAN. uring my apprenticeship, I had the opportunity to get a taste of all departments and master tasks independently. By being taken on as an employee in 2021 for the Sales and Marketing departments, I was offered many opportunities to continuously develop in both areas. In Sales, I was assigned my own customer base straight after my training, which I still successfully look after today.

Looking back, I am grateful for the trust that was placed in me during my training. After my apprenticeship, I always had the opportunity to grow with new and exciting tasks, such as being involved in new product developments or visiting trade fairs and customers.”

“I started my apprenticeship as an industrial management assistant here at HAN in August 2021 and am now in my third, final year of training. During this time, I particularly liked the fact that I got to know all the processes and was able to work in every department.

Moreover, there’s the great team at HAN, where everyone gets on well with everyone else and it’s really fun to work with your colleagues.”

The colleagues here are super nice and helpful, so they have definitely made my start to my career easier. We also get on very well among the trainees. The working hours are pleasant, as we exchange ideas with each other and talk a lot or spend the breaks together.”
