Lufthansa Technik Records
Rising Number of Apprentices
For decades, one cornerstone of recruitment for
Lufthansa Technik has been the internal training
of new employees. This year, 321 people began training
at the company's German locations.
" Today, employees expect exciting tasks, good
supervisors and colleagues, career prospects and job
security, " explains Andrea Jacobsen, head of entry
programs at Lufthansa Technik. " In addition, they
expect comprehensive support during the training
period. These features are weighted higher by them
than a high training salary or benefits such as discounted
flying or an international environment. "
