Lea Verhülsdonk, Konstantin Möllering, Luca Lomartire, Jannik Stevens and Marc Smits report on their first experiences at the company.
We are Lea Verhülsdonk, Konstantin Möllering, Luca Lomartire, Jannik Stevens and Marc Smits. We are the new trainees at Tecklenburg GmbH in Straelen. We are training as real estate agents or as real estate and industrial clerks, as well as pursuing a dual study programme in civil engineering. On Monday morning, 3 August, we were welcomed with a bouquet of flowers and a welcome folder. In the large meeting room, the training officer Viola Koblenz presented the structure and departments of the company. In this context we were able to gain a first insight into our new company, its internal processes and structures, and our colleagues. Afterwards we conducted partner interviews. This allowed us to learn more about our fellow trainees and to get to know each other better. In the late morning we learned interesting facts about the vocational training at Tecklenburg. In this context we were shown the training plan, with the departments we will go through. We also learned more about the vocational school and the examinations. The trainee project was also presented. At Tecklenburg there is an internal newsletter, which is published quarterly. The newsletter is produced by the trainees under the direction of Jenny Figge. The final part, “Tecklenburg LIVE”, was particularly interesting. Here a little was shared behind the scenes, and we were able to learn some more interesting information about the working atmosphere in the company, for example the annual Christmas parties. After that we visited the various departments and got to know many employees, departments and premises. During the lunch break we were invited to eat. In a relaxed atmosphere we were able to talk about the training at Tecklenburg together with the trainees from the second and third year and Viola, and ask questions. We also had the opportunity to get to know the “old trainees” on a personal level. After the subsequent data protection and safety briefing by the quality management manager Mr Schlack, which we completed together with two likewise new employees, our first and very exciting day of training came to an end. The next day already began in the respective departments in which we will be working during the initial period. After receiving a rough overview of our current projects, we were already able to start our first independent tasks. In principle, during our three-year training we will go through various departments in order to gain an insight into all areas and to better understand the company's processes. The first two weeks at the Tecklenburg company were already very exciting and brought a lot of joy. We were welcomed into the team very quickly, which made the start of our working life considerably easier. Our enthusiasm for the training remains very high, and we hope that all our positive impressions will continue to be confirmed.
