Start with safety: the sponsorship program at wenglor

Starting an apprenticeship or dual study program is always an exciting step. New tasks, new colleagues and a completely new environment; it can be challenging at the beginning. At wenglor, we know how important it is to get off to a strong start. That’s why we have a mentoring program for all new trainees and students, which offers guidance, support and a sense of community right from the start.

Personal support right from the start

Every new generation of trainees at wenglor is accompanied by an experienced mentor. These mentors come from the company’s own apprentice community and know the first few weeks from their own experience. They help with organizational questions, provide support in getting to know the various departments and are on hand with help and advice for projects. This means that no one feels left alone and the start of their career is made much easier.

This individual mentoring goes far beyond traditional induction training. The mentors are contact persons, motivators and role models at the same time. New talents not only get to know the company, but also learn how to take on responsibility, work in a team and contribute their own ideas. At the same time, the mentors themselves benefit: They strengthen their communication skills, take on responsibility and build up leadership skills – a win-win situation for both sides.

Practical learning in projects

At wenglor, training is not just theory: new trainees and DHBW students are involved in practice-oriented projects at an early stage. They gain insights into various commercial and technical departments, from administration and IT to mechanics and electronics. They work with innovative, digital training methods that meet modern industry requirements.

The opportunity to implement your own ideas and take on responsibility in projects is particularly exciting. Whether it’s optimizing processes, testing new software solutions or working on technical products, training at wenglor is versatile and varied.

Community and additional benefits

The mentoring program is part of a comprehensive concept that accompanies young talents throughout their training and studies. This includes, among other things:

  • Trainee days: Two days to get to know each other, including an excursion or trainee hut to strengthen the community.
  • Team workshops and competitions: participation in educational cooperations, language competitions or projects such as “Trainees train trainees”.
  • Stays abroad: DHBW students can gain international experience during the theory semesters, often combined with language trips.
  • Individual support: Every student or trainee is supported by a dedicated contact person in all departments throughout their time at the company.

These measures not only promote specialist knowledge, but also soft skills such as communication, organization and teamwork.
