A closer cooperation is now planned between the training department of Schiettinger from Brand and the Fichtelnaabtal Middle School in Ebnath-Neusorg. The two partners strengthened their long-standing cooperation in a cooperation agreement and have established new goals. The training manager of the manufacturer of packaging and displays made of solid and corrugated cardboard, Markus Schönl, worked together on the new paper with the Rector Alexander Köstler and the teacher Philipp Lippert, who is responsible for careers orientation at the school and also in the Tirschenreuth district, with measures that should benefit the middle school students from the region.
According to this, the school will be supported in its pedagogical work in the future through stronger reference to reality, which will improve career orientation and preparation. The aim is to give the company a better insight into the possibilities and services of the school. Furthermore, in addition to the already established company visits and internships, the focus is on a regular exchange between the company and the school. Topics such as the current training and application situation, necessary competences, new developments, requirements and wishes are to be the focus of attention and therefore make the young people fit for a successful start in their professional life.
At joint events, trainees from Schiettinger can present their profession at school, training for job interviews can be provided and workshop days can be offered, among other things. Two gear wheels with the respective coats of arms are to serve as a symbol for a successful and closely “interlocked” partnership. School association chairman Wolfgang Söllner welcomed the campaign and thanked everyone involved for the work on it.
