Around 200 new apprentices start their apprenticeship at the Nagel-Group
Versmold/Borgholzhausen, 4 August 2020 – The Nagel-Group is pleased to welcome around 200 young apprentices from all over Germany at the start of a new apprenticeship year. Among them are also 27 new apprentices who started their careers at the Borgholzhausen and Versmold sites.
“We consider it our responsibility to offer young people the opportunity for sound education and training, thus paving the way forward for promising careers,” says Carsten Taucke, CEO of Nagel-Group. “Our mission is to prepare young people for their professional life as best as possible because today’s apprentices are tomorrow’s specialists and managers.”
As the leading food logistics company in Germany and one of the best training companies in logistics, the Nagel-Group offers numerous exciting career prospects: It covers professions and dual-degree courses ranging from professional drivers to warehouse assistants, commercial staff, and IT specialists. Altogether, the Nagel-Group offers apprenticeships in eight different professions.
The apprentices at the Nagel-Group will cover the entire range of topics relevant to their specialisation during the three-year apprenticeship. This practical knowledge can be meaningfully combined with theoretical knowledge acquired at the vocational college, and additionally at the university in the case of students pursuing dual-degree courses.
