Training programme once again triple-certified

ARBURG received the new sustainability certification for its training programme as part of the LQW audit for further education organisations. In addition to pedagogical principles, action-oriented learning methods and the development of skills within the training programme, economic, social, environmental and political-institutional aspects of sustainability were also taken into account. Trainer Marius Singer emphasises: “Our training programme is built on a broad foundation. We rely on optimised processes and quantitative indicators of success just as much as on qualitative indicators of success. Added to this is strategic professional development, which ensures that we trainers are equipped with up-to-date knowledge and all the necessary tools to train and support the qualified personnel of tomorrow in line with current requirements.”

ARBURG trainees regularly take part in projects that contribute to sustainability. For example, their ideas for reducing the company’s carbon footprint have already won them the “Carbon Busters” competition organised by the VDMA, network organization and an important voice for the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry in Europe and Germany, on several occasions. A team of apprentices made their most recent major appearance whilst manning the “arburgGREENworld” pavilion at the world’s leading trade fair, K 2025, in Düsseldorf (Germany), where they provided information on topics including the recycling loop for plastics and ARBURG’s resource conservation program. But the trainees also regularly get involved in smaller local actions, such as hanging up nesting boxes on the company premises or collecting litter on the “Black Forest CleanUp Day”, to promote a natural and clean environment.
