Success Stories
Currently: Specialist for metal technology
Jelle Rad
On September 10, 2018, I applied for a occupational practical year at nVent (Chance M&E). Since I didn't know exactly which apprenticeship I wanted to do, this was the right choice to get a deeper look into the metalworking industry. I spent the next 11 months in different departments where I did different jobs. Since the company is broadly set up, you get insight from the receipt of goods, over the sales department, up to the final assembly, it never gets boring. I quickly realized that I liked working in such a company, so I successfully applied for a job as a metal technology specialist. Since 01.09.2019 I have been an apprentice at nVent.
Currently: Technical Product Designer
Henrik Niemann
In September 2018 I have started my apprenticeship as a Technical Product Designer specialized in machine and system design at nVent in Straubenhardt. I really enjoy my apprenticeship, because we learn how to properly select the various materials for products and how to build complex 3D models with the computer using CAD. I also think it's great that we do a run-through in the company during our apprenticeship to get to know the different departments better. What I really like is that you are quickly integrated into the company. As an apprentice, you notice that your own work is appreciated.
Currently: Specialist for Warehouse Logistics
Jannes Kern
On 01.09.2018 I started an apprenticeship as a specialist for warehouse logistics at nVent in Straubenhardt. Since 01.09.2020 I am already in my 3rd year of apprenticeship and have a lot of fun at work. What I find especially enjoyable in my apprenticeship is that I run through almost every department (including the commercial ones) and thus get a lot of variety. Twice a week I visit the Friedrich-List School in Karlsruhe. In any case of problems I can always contact my instructor.
Formerly: Industrial Clerk
Melanie Bastian
In 2010 I started my apprenticeship as an industrial clerk with additional qualification in foreign trade at nVent. Afterwards I worked for several years in the area of customer care, taking care of all kinds of customer concerns. Through vocational education and training I was able to qualify for my current position. Today I lead a team of several people in the area of Customer Care, which is responsible for the support of trading partners in Europe. During the apprenticeship I enjoyed the fact that I was able to gain insights into every department of the company and meet many colleagues personally. Even today, this networking still helps me in my everyday work.
Formerly: Tool Mechanic
Stefan Fohmann
I started my apprenticeship as a tool mechanic, specialized in punching and forming technology on 01.09.2007. During my versatile apprenticeship, in which I developed a passion for complex systems and precise relations, I was able to start a job in the in-house tool shop. I was supported by nVent in my desire to continue my education and was able to qualify as a technician, specialized in mechanical engineering, from 2012 to 2014. After my further education I had the chance to take up a responsible, diversified position in the construction of operating equipment. There I design devices, punching tools and special machines for our production departments which are then manufactured in our tool shop. On the one hand this enables efficient production and on the other hand it makes the work for our team much easier.
Formerly: Industrial Clerk
Tamara Bahr
In September 2008, I started with an apprenticeship program at nVent in Straubenhardt as an industrial clerk with an additional qualification in International Marketing. During the apprenticeship it became clear that I was developing a special passion for marketing and communications. After successfully finalizing the program, I've been offered a job in international event management. My desire for continuous development was supported by nVent SCHROFF, among other things I have been supported in my part-time study to finalize a Bachelor of Arts in Business Administration, HR Marketing. Since January 2018, I have been a Global Marketing Campaign Manager and responsible for promotion of solutions within the railway and transportation industry.
