Welcome, career starters!

Apprenticeships have a long tradition at DEUTZ. For more than a century now, the Company has been giving new recruits the best possible start to their career. This year, it was the turn of three young women and 27 young men to begin their vocational training at the DEUTZ sites in Cologne, Ulm, and Herschbach. And the DEUTZ Factory for Talents, in cooperation with its partners, will offer career prospects to another 16 apprentices via a modular or full apprenticeship. As in previous years, the DEUTZ apprentices in their second year organized the Welcome Days in Cologne for the new arrivals. The event provided them with comprehensive information about their first employer as well as an opportunity to network.

A festival for DEUTZers

DEUTZ hosted a family festival for its employees in late summer under the banner “Mer stonn zesamme”, which is Cologne dialect for “We stand together”. To thank them for their hard work, all DEUTZ employees and their families were invited to celebrate together at the factory site in Cologne-Porz. Around 4,000 people enjoyed a varied program of entertainment, with not even the occasional rain shower able to dampen the mood.

There was lots to see and do, from tours of DEUTZ’s Technikum engine museum and a visit to the assembly hall to fun activities for kids. Then, after a grilled bratwurst and a refreshing drink, the DEUTZers were ready for the highlight of the event – a private concert by Cologne band Kasalla, known for singing in the local dialect. One of the band’s hits, and the song that brought the day to a close, perfectly captured the DEUTZ philosophy: “Mer sin eins!” – “We are one!”
