Würth Elektronik celebrates strong growth in training

Waldenburg (Germany), September 19, 2024 - Würth Elektronik is starting the 2024 training year with a strong increase in trainees and students. A total of 31 young talents began their careers in 19 different professions and courses of study. For the first time, the manufacturer of electronic and electromechanical components is offering training in the pioneering Data Science & Artificial Intelligence degree program to actively shape digital change. The interactive “Welcome Week,” with numerous activities and encounters, marks a successful start to the training period and highlights the importance of promoting young talent within the company.

On September 1, 2024, the new young talents started their professional careers at Würth Elektronik. Twenty-four of the starters began their training at the headquarters in Waldenburg, while seven others looked forward to new challenges at the Munich site. The progress in the Bavarian capital is especially gratifying, as this marks only the second year that young professionals have embarked on their careers at the newly established Hightech Innovation Center. The clear upward trend in 2024 is a strong indicator of the attractiveness of both the location and the training programs at Würth Elektronik

New paths in training

In addition to traditional commercial and technical apprenticeships, such as industrial clerk (m/f/d), electronics technician (m/f/d), or technical product designer (m/f/d), Würth Elektronik is offering apprenticeships in the Data Science & Artificial Intelligence degree program. In doing so, the company is focusing on key technologies of digital change and responding to the growing demand for highly qualified specialists in these areas. The training is embedded in a concept that focuses on personal support and individual development - an approach that has proven its worth. Around a third of trainees graduate with distinction, and 93% remain with the company after graduation.

A welcome week for success

To kick off the new training year, Würth Elektronik organized an interactive welcome week for the young talents. The new trainees were introduced to the company in a creative way, including an escape room, a scavenger hunt, and workshops to get to understand the corporate culture. One highlight was the “Meet the Management Team” discussion, where the Young Talents were able to make direct contact with the management team. The culmination of the week was the Young Talent excursion on September 13 with a total of 90 participants, including Young Talents from all year groups, tutors and the training team.
