Trainee receives award from CIC

“Over the past decades our company has undergone the transformation from a former hat factory to a technological group of companies,” says Werner Mayer, Human Relations Manager at the Lindenberg location. “We are pleased that Foam Technology has experienced strong growth, which means new requirements on the products. It also means that qualified design engineers are in demand. That is why we decided to offer training for Technical Product Designers.”

An instructor was trained for the technical occupation and approved by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce. That process was preceded by intensive research into the company’s requirements and the curriculum of the vocational school. “The quality of our training is very important to us. Which makes us even happier to be able to offer such a high level of training in a new occupation,” Mayer adds. “We are very proud of our team and congratulate our trainee Claudia Bellstedt on her excellent achievement.” Training as a Technical Product Designer, which lasts three-and-a-half years, combines technical knowledge with creativity. That is why Bellstedt chose the occupation, because she likes the design aspect of the work just as much as testing and creating 2D and 3D data on the computer. What she found most interesting were the projects she was involved in during the training, and working in a team. “The items I designed included a card shuffling machine, a lamp, a stool and, for my final assignment, an acoustic storage shelf.” For this project she produced seven designs, four of which were used in the final assignment.

Following her training, Claudia Bellstedt will remain loyal to Mayser – she wants to gain work experience and contribute her design skills. She will be working in different divisions, including both Foam Technology and Safety Technology. Mayser offers training for in-house requirements and supports advanced training measures. After completing the training as a Technical Product Designer it is possible to continue training as a design engineer, technician or designer. A course of studies is also an option.
