Vocational Trainer: Mechanics & üK Leader

V-ZUG Vocational Training ### At V-ZUG, around 90 apprentices are in training - in commercial, technical, and manual professions. Vocational training is therefore a fixed, significant part of the company: not a marginal topic, but lived responsibility towards the next generation and towards its own future as an industrial company. 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 craft on real machines, with real tasks and from experts who know what they are talking about. Whoever trains here has influence: on professional careers, on the quality of the next generation - and on the question of how V-ZUG is positioned in ten years. You do not do this alone: You work closely with the vocational trainer for polymechanics and are part of a dedicated vocational training team - with short distances, real collegiality, and a shared understanding of good training. What the position offers you ### • You accompany apprentices in the daily work of the training workshop: during production work, you are the contact person, sparring partner, and technical authority all in one - with real influence on the development of young people • You plan, design, and lead the inter-company courses (üK) for production mechanics EFZ as well as the workshop internships in the areas of automation and construction - for both internal and external apprentices. You have the creative freedom to develop courses that really resonate • As a vocational trainer for production mechanics, you bear overall responsibility for the apprentices: from recruitment through ongoing support to progress reviews with parents and schools • You actively implement the ongoing vocational reform and contribute your own ideas on what training for tomorrow should look like • You represent the mechanical professions externally: at vocational fairs, in schools, and in specialist committees. You give the profession the face it deserves • You take care of the ongoing maintenance of the machines in the training workshop and contribute your technical expertise as an expert during qualification procedures What you bring to the position ### • You have completed vocational training in the mechanical field - e.g., as a polymechanic or production mechanic - and additionally possess further training as a trainer (SVEB-1 or federal professional certificate) • You bring several years of practical experience from a mechanical-technical professional field - whether CNC machining, quality assurance, maintenance, or assembly • You have already accompanied, promoted, and assessed apprentices - and you know that this is much more than just correcting workpieces • You have experience in the planning and implementation of courses - ideally inter-company courses. You use didactic methods in a targeted and situational manner: action-oriented, contemporary, and tailored to the target group • You communicate clearly and structuredly - with apprentices as well as with parents, practical trainers, and external partner companies. Difficult conversations are part of it, and you conduct them with the necessary care and attitude • You bring the willingness to actively help shape the importance of mechanical vocational training - both internally and externally - and the desire to bring your own projects into the training landscape
