The challenges posed by the current shortage of qualified workers are greater than ever before. A situation that the Mibelle Group has taken advantage of - because, as we all know, necessity is the mother of invention.
Human resources development and the filling division have put their heads together and developed a program that is unique in the industry:
The aim is to give motivated and committed production employees without the appropriate education the opportunity to acquire the necessary basic knowledge in an internal apprenticeship.
After around six months of preparation, the time has finally come: the first "Internal Apprenticeship for Plant Operators" module course has started in the Mibelle Group's filling division in Buchs! The organization team is pursuing a clear goal:
"With this module course, we train interested and committed employees without a relevant qualification to become competent specialists. The constant exchange with the trainers enables a great transfer of knowledge on the job, which increases efficiency and self-confidence at work."
Content of the internal apprenticeship to become a plant operator:
Participants benefit from free, in-service and practice-oriented training for around 6 months. The program includes various modules such as safety, digital fitness, plant maintenance, waste & energy or quality with the following key topics and learning objectives:
