V-ZUG Vocational Training
At V-ZUG, around 90 apprentices are in training – in commercial, technical and craft professions. Vocational training is thus a fixed, significant part of the company: not a marginal topic, but lived responsibility towards young talent and towards the company’s own future as an industrial enterprise. Around 15 apprentices are in mechanical professions – they form the core of what happens daily in our training workshop at the headquarters in Zug: learning craftsmanship on real machines, with real tasks and from experts who know what they are talking about. Those who train here have influence: on career paths, on the quality of young talent – and on the question of how V-ZUG will be positioned in ten years. You do not do this alone: you work closely with the polymechanics trainer and are part of a committed vocational training team – with short distances, genuine collegiality and a shared understanding of good training.
