At present, 28 for- mer apprentices are working for Bühler in four continents. Also in this respect, the company selectively prepares inte- rested apprentices for their missions ac- ross the globe. ALLROUNDERS AND INTERNATIONALS In order to counter the lack of skilled labor in the first place, Bühler lets interested school-leavers know that the company offers more than just pure training in one single vocation. Bühler prepares the young people for the labor market in the best possible manner by fostering allroun- der skills. For example, apprentices pass through different departments which have a different focus. In the future, digitalization will be integrated even more into education, alongside the development of social skills, creativity, exc- hange, and diversity. Some of the young adults may un- dergo training in project management or do a stint abroad. Be it China, Indonesia, Vietnam, India, South Africa, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, or the United States: Since the introduction of these peri- ods of training abroad twelve years ago, as many as 200 apprentices have already spent several months of their vocational training at a Bühler location out- side Switzerland. The benefits of this approach are obvious: Apprentices gain a first-hand experience of different cultures and languages. They enhance the- ir professional and social skills, broaden their minds, and become fit for a job in the international labor environment that Bühler offers. Stefan Scheiber, CEO of Bühler Group, stresses the im- portance of international mobility and sound, varied basic training for the organization: “Training and continuing education enable Bühler to renew itself permanently. We place our trust in our apprentices at an early stage, but we also demand a lot from them. We unlock the interna- tional world of labor for them, because we want them to continue to work for us later on – as open-minded and innovative employees skilled in a wide range of tasks, and either in Switzerland or anywhere else in the world.” Andreas Bischof www.hydronix.com enquiries@hydronix.com Digital Moisture Sensors for Grain, Rice and Animal Feed • Each sensor is a single, self-contained unit incorporating all functionality • Easy to install in drying, ducting, conveying or mixing processes • Simple ducting installation using the Hydronix System • Hydronix digital measurement technology for precise results • Wide moisture measurement range • Simple to install, calibrate and maintain Hydro-Mix XT Hydro-Mix HT High Temperature The Easy Way to Control Moisture Hydronix Ducting System
