Have a look behind the scenes: Jonas, Florian, Constantin and Nick present four of our training professions, tell us about what is the fun part in their apprenticeship, talk about the working atmosphere at Glen Dimplex and which skills are most important for their jobs.

Jonas Hohner on training at GDD.

Warehouse logistics specialist.

Jonas has already successfully completed his training as a warehouse logistics specialist at GDD. He is especially enthusiastic about the diverse tasks and the great team spirit. Find out why he decided to train at GDD in the video (German only).

Interview with Florian Kürzdörfer.

Mechatronics technician for cooling technology.

Craftsmanship, technical interest and a structured working method are key if you decide to train as mechatronics technician for cooling technology - as Florian did. He especially likes the diverse tasks from soldering to hydraulic and refrigeration pipework to technical testing. That's not all: after his apprenticeship he will go on to start his dual studies in energy and building technology with us. Check out the video (German only).

Constantin Thoma on working in the GDD family.

Electronics technician for industrial engineering.

Control and regulation technology is at the heart of every technical system. Knowing what it takes to make everything from small device to large plant systems run perfectly is what Constantin Thoma learns during his apprencticeship as electronics technician for industrial engineering. See more in the video (German only).

Nick Wildgrube in a diverse job.

Industrial mechanic.

Being a future industrial mechanic, Nick Wildgrube has a very broad field of activity already today. He is responsible for the maintenance of tools and equipment throughout the whole company grounds - and therefore gets in contact with many colleagues and topics. Tool manufacturing as well as working with various materials need different techniques and activities as well. This will not get boring for sure! Watch Nick in the video (German only).

In addition, there are advantages such as the "learning time" corridor, which was launched years ago: Our trainees can use the training area every Friday, between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m., to learn together and practice hands-on. In small learning groups, our trainees help each other with open questions.

Trainer Helmut Lauterbach is on hand to offer advice and support. The results of our high-quality training are impressive: Our graduates are regularly among the best in their year.

Of course, regular team events are also a must.

After successful completion of the apprenticeship, we guarantee that you will be taken on.

We have a very open and collegial way of dealing with each other. Many of our employees are on a first-name basis.

It is important to us to treat each other with respect, so we currently leave it up to our employees to decide whether they prefer to be addressed as "Du" or "Sie" in German language.
 

During the application process and before the first meeting, addressing each other as "Sie" in German language is welcome - both in the application documents and in conversations. This note only concerns our German-speaking colleagues.

A small tipp: we recommend starting with a "Sie" in German language to our new interns, trainees and students. Best wait if you are offered adressing colleagues as  "Du".
