Chemical foreman, Oliver Hesse (31), knows just how to foster the professional and personal development of the next generation. After all, he too trained as a chemical technician at this Genthin location. They way knowledge and skills are passed on at the Genthin detergent factory suggests a dialogue between family members. The constructive atmosphere is valued by both trainers and trainees. Toni Hutschenreuter (20), in his second year of training, wants to become a chemical technician and regards vocational trainer Oliver Hesse as a role model. Even in school Toni loved experiments in the chemical laboratory more than anything else, and they first got him thinking about a career in the field. When he found out that the Genthin detergent factory was looking for trainee chemical technicians, he applied immediately. With success. Vocational trainer Hesse could tell: Toni was serious! And training is a serious matter at the Genthin detergent factory. Future chemical technicians and industrial mechanics don’t just learn about processes in the tenside plant and consumer product unit, but also about team spirit is and what it can achieve. Gudrun Meineke, head of personnel, cites two important catalysts which have brought about a successful balance of junior staff: the girls' day and careers’ day. She is especially proud of these events, because this is how young people develop a professional interest in chemistry. |
