Rostock-Warnemünde, 31 January 2006 – At NEPTUN Stahlbau GmbH, training has traditionally had a very high priority. Next to the recruitment of their own trained youngsters, the company also sees the provision of training places far beyond its own requirements but also as a vital task. Young people are offered a qualified education and thus given a solid foundation for career advancement. This will result in NEPTUN Stahlbau GmbH employing twenty new trainees in autumn 2006.

After three and a half years of education, 17 trainees have successfully passed the final examination. 14 specialise in construction mechanics whilst the other three focus on plant mechanics. Due to their extraordinary efforts they have all been offered a temporary contract and 14 will continue their work as skilled employees at the shipyard.

In a small ceremony Dr. Rainer Miebach, plant manager of NEPTUN Stahlbau GmbH, handed out the exams credentials as well as the employment contracts. NEPTUN sees these young trainees as an important component to ensure the survival and growth of the shipyard.
