IMR Innovative Metal Recycling GmbH receives Apprenticeship Award Certificate
Our strive for apprenticeship which we had started over one year ago, has now proven successful once more: On 29 March we were presented with the „Certificate of Apprenticeship Excellence“ from the Agentur für Arbeit Krefeld (employment agency of the city of Krefeld). We are honored and proud. Here is an extract from the official press release of the Agentur für Arbeit:
„Today I consciously present the local figures regarding the apprenticeship market at IMR GmbH in Krefeld. A company which is very active and innovative in this sector. IMR puts a sustainable effort into the apprentice recruitment and is moving in different directions within a broad network to win over young people for their organisation. I am happy to be able to rely on employers like this in our region – opening up perspectives for the future of numerous young people. Looking for vocational specialists not available in the market at once shows us how important the whole apprenticeship issue is. The apprentices of today are the specialists of tomorrow. And the best specialists ar the ones that have been educated within the company.“ stresses Dr. Bettina Rademacher-Bensing, Director of the Agentur für Arbeit Krefeld and hereby encourages employers to engage themselves in educating young people on the job via apprenticeships.
„To find vocational specialists is becoming more and more difficult“ Simone Konjkav, Managing Director of IMR GmbH had to find out when searching for qualified staff. „This is why we have decided to put a strong and sustainable focus on apprenticeships. Our know-how for constant and homogenous qualities are our forte in the market – guaranteeing satisfactory results with our customers and suppliers. Whoever teaches their own staff will know exactly what these employees are capable of. The apprenticeship as such can make use of the strengths and support the people where they might have room for improvement. And our apprentices know what our operation is about.“ Konjkav sums up the motivation of IMR to massively invest into apprenticeships. „A thorough vocational education provides us with the specialists of the future. After a successful final exam our young specialists may pursue numerous career openings.“
