Ready for the future - Start of training at Lindauer DORNIER

© 2021 Lindauer DORNIER
On 1 September 2021, 16 young people (industrial mechanics, mechatronics technicians, cutting machine operators, construction mechanics, electricians for industrial engineering, machine and plant operators and industrial clerks) began their training at DORNIER. Two of them are studying technical subjects at the University of Cooperative Education in Ravensburg.

Furthermore, four trainees from external companies of Lindau’s district receive their basic metal training in the DORNIER training workshop.

The first days of training were all about getting to know each other. After visiting the Lindau and Esseratsweiler plants and gaining an initial insight into the respective departments, the trainees were familiarised with operational and training-specific processes. The aspect of teamwork was emphasised by practical exercises.

At DORNIER, professional training has a particularly high priority. The Lindau-based family business attaches great importance to teaching trainees solution-oriented working methods that not only help them in their professional lives, but also provide them with well-founded skills. The focus at DORNIER is on achieving the training objectives combined with a team-oriented and practical approach to the apprenticeship period. The high quality of training is reflected in regular regional and national awards for excellent performances.



Within the next 2 to 3.5 years, depending on their choice of profession and studies, Lindauer DORNIER will accompany its trainees in an intensive training and promote their skills such as professional knowledge, dexterity and commitment. “Only with well-trained and motivated employees will we be able to meet the future challenges of the rapidly changing global markets” says Commercial Managing Director Franz-Peter Matheis.
