Stella Seifert starts her training: Future for the environment!

A breath of fresh air in the area of ​​environmental protection is currently blowing in Döbeln, as the new training group at Veolia has started. Among them is 18-year-old Stella Seifert from Pulsnitz, who has started her training as an environmental technologist. How Sächsische.de reports, Stella has big goals: She wants to work in wastewater management and change the world sustainably.

Stella and her three new colleagues, Moritz Hiller, Sascha Schilde and Ole Pachur, have now spent a week in the Veolia team. The company is known for its environmentally friendly wastewater treatment, and the aspiring environmental technologists encounter state-of-the-art technologies and exciting challenges here. After this start-up help in Döbeln, Stella will switch to inter-company training at ASG in Nünchritz.

Training to become an environmental technologist

Training to become an environmental technologist is a three-year, dual training path that combines technical know-how with a high level of environmental awareness. During the apprenticeship, the trainees learn about various specialist areas, including the monitoring of sewage treatment plants and the analysis of water samples. In practical terms, wastewater management is about operating sewage treatment plants and constantly optimizing their processes. Veolia emphasizes the importance of technical expertise and analytical skills for this profession.

The training agenda includes, among other things, continuous monitoring of water quality and careful documentation of water samples that are sent to the laboratory. Marvin Köhler, a 26-year-old trainee from Braunschweig, shows how important team spirit and mutual support are in this environment. He is in his third year of training and still has many plans for the future, such as becoming a master craftsman after his training.

Sustainability and career opportunities

The training not only offers a solid foundation in environmental technology, but also numerous further training opportunities. After training, the specialists can work as environmental protection technicians or wastewater supervisors, for example. Specialties such as circular and waste management as well as water supply open up additional career paths. The training allowance is also lucrative, with a starting salary of around 2,000 to 3,000 euros gross per month. Training.de emphasizes that the demand for qualified specialists in environmental technology will continue to increase.

For Stella Seifert, taking the step into environmental protection is more than just a career goal. She is aware that she works in a male-dominated industry, but does not feel disadvantaged. On the contrary, their commitment and enthusiasm for the environment are contagious and impressively show that young women can also make a difference in technical professions.
