Vocational Trainer: Mechanic & üK-Leader

V-ZUG Vocational Training ### At V-ZUG, around 90 apprentices are in training - in commercial, technical and craft professions. Vocational training is therefore a fixed, significant part of the company: not a marginal issue, but a lived responsibility towards the next generation and towards its own future as an industrial company. Of these, around 15 apprentices are in mechanical professions - they form the core of what happens daily in our training workshop at the headquarters in Zug: learning a trade on real machines, with real tasks and from specialists who know what they are talking about. Whoever trains here has an influence: on professional careers, on the quality of the next generation - and on the question of how V-ZUG will be positioned in ten years. You don't do this alone: you work closely with the vocational trainer in polymechanics and are part of a committed vocational training team - with short distances, genuine camaraderie and a common understanding of good training.
