Securing the future: Siemens Energy trains new trainees in Görlitz!

In Görlitz and the surrounding area, a new phase of life begins for many young people: training. At the Siemens Energy site in Görlitz, where the industrial steam turbines are manufactured, 40 new trainees are looking forward to taking their first steps into the professional world. Fortunately, the order situation for the turbine factory has improved, which further pushes the closure of the site, which was overcome eight years ago, into the background. With a workforce of around 700 employees, Siemens Energy has an important foothold here.

2,500 trainees and dual students are already working in various areas in the new training year, covering no fewer than 33 professions. Another plus point are the individually designed training centers, which ensure a modern and attractive learning atmosphere. In addition to Görlitz, Berlin and Zittau are also important training locations where those interested in a career have the chance to acquire specialist knowledge and personal skills.

Innovative training programs

Siemens Energy, together with companies such as Borbet and Stadtwerke Weißwasser, has focused on innovative training. The focus is on a sustainable, affordable and reliable energy supply that is intended to counteract increasing energy demand and climate change. This also underlines the responsibility that Siemens has taken on in electrification since Werner von Siemens invented the dynamoelectric principle. The company is a pioneer in global energy supply, currently covering 20 percent of global demand, but continues to face challenges and is always looking for new ideas.

A clear advantage for the trainees: around half are taken on in Görlitz after their apprenticeship, while the other half move to urban locations such as Dresden or Erfurt in order to remain part of the Siemens family. This means that the young talents not only secure exciting prospects, but also future-oriented training in a growing industry.

Diversity and equal opportunities in the educational process

At Siemens, great value is placed on diversity, equal opportunities and inclusion. These principles should not only reflect society, but also strengthen the voices of all employees. Everyone has the chance to get involved and contribute to the development of useful technologies. Striving to develop technology that serves people shows that Siemens is interested not only in training, but also in the personal growth and social responsibility of its trainees.

So we can't wait to see how the new trainees in Görlitz develop and what innovative ideas they will bring to the energy industry. With a strong training approach and a clear vision for the future, great value is placed on future generations, which is important not only for the Görlitz region, but also for the entire industry.
