On 9th June 2018, the Handtmann Leichtmetallgießerei Annaberg was awarded with the title of ‘Best Training Company’ at the SACHSENMETALL general meeting in Radebeul – reclaiming the honour they previously won in 2013.

Their commitment to career guidance was commended, not least for their student internships, company visits, classes at vocational colleges, and for taking part in events like the business open house week and training fairs in the region. Recognition was also paid to their collaboration with schooling/economic work groups in Erzgebirgskreis and Annaberg, as well as their training of students aspiring to industry careers, and their many other measures and activities to expose students to career training, all of which inspire young people to pursue careers at Handtmann.

Investing in the Future

The Frohnau foundry also impressed the jury with the amount of apprenticeships at the site, the broad range of training provided, additional training during apprenticeships, and the good development opportunities thereafter.
