Because I care.

Motivated Forward Thinker

The climate is changing as a result of environmental degradation. And that in turn can mean that people lose their livelihoods and have to flee. That's why pollution and conflict are also connected - and I care. I think if I work in the field of circular economy after my apprenticeship as a finance and accounting assistant, I can do something about it. After all, recycling is the future to avoid mountains of rubbish and curb environmental degradation! My motto: If you stop wanting to get better, you stop being good. The EREMA Group and I share the vision of a better environment and a better future.

I also like that my apprenticeship company gives me the opportunity to work in an international environment. There are numerous opportunities for advancement here and the employees appreciate each other and work together. The best thing for me is to go home happily at the end of the day because I know that my colleagues, our customers and suppliers are happy too.

Energetic pursuer of ideas

Everyone should contribute to making the future better. I make my contribution by doing my apprenticeship at EREMA. I work here because my future and that of the next generations is at stake. Working here means doing something worthwhile. That spurs me on. And if it gets strenuous in between, I'm convinced: After the hardship, there's always relief! When an INTAREMA K recycling system that I assembled is delivered and used plastic is recycled with it, that makes me proud. The bonus: When my trainer praises my clean, error-free work.

I don't find it difficult to make an effort and stick with my work. I always had a lot of energy as a child and I still do a lot of sports. Now I put a large part of my energy into my work. I really like doing that – also because I have such great colleagues who make teamwork really fun. I not only learn technical things, but also a lot about values ​​and skills that also help me as a person in my private life. This also includes recognizing problems and looking for solutions. What seems unsolvable, is a motivating challenge for me and I look forward to passing on what I was able to learn and find out for myself in the years to come.

Athletic Systems-Checker

The apprenticeship as an information and communication technician is exactly what suits me. Why? Because it's a varied job: I work on different servers and different systems and thus support the internal cooperation decisively. In addition, as an IT technician, it is my job to make systems work again. In this way, I help other people directly. Whenever I succeed, I know that my work is valuable and that I am helping to change something for the better.

This is where the future lies: using what already exists and making it functional again. This is a great opportunity for all of us! In this regard, the EREMA Group and I are exactly on the same wavelength. Incidentally, it is not true that all IT technicians only sit at the PC. I do a lot of sport in my free time - it's a great balance and makes me fit for my work.

Creative, electrifying person with a sense of humor

Each of us is a small cog wheel in a big machine. I mean that in a very positive way, because it means: we are all important in order to close the recycling loop. Recycling is the future. It drives the economy, creates jobs and helps the environment. Everyone benefits from that! I think it's great to work as an apprentice in this area. Our trainer in the field of electrical engineering always says: "Without us there would be no functioning systems and therefore no recycled granulate." That thought motivates me!

As an electrical engineer, it's my job to wire one of our smaller system types. I'm really proud of my work when, when the system is accepted and quality control reports: "No errors found. Everything perfect!” Or when experienced skilled workers tell me that they enjoy working with me. I feel like I can make a valuable contribution.

I was interested in the world of electrical engineering from an early age. That's why I was already electrified as a little boy - not only because I once reached into a light bulb socket... I also think it's great that I can also use the skills I learned as a hobby photographer in my apprenticeship: for both you need a lot of creativity.

I really enjoy working at the EREMA Group. The working atmosphere is collegial and fun. Communication is at eye level across all departments. I think it's nice to get involved in this atmosphere with my willingness to help and my optimistic, humorous nature. This is how colleagues quickly become friends.

Explaining bear & fan of change

As an "explaining bear", I like to tell the people around me about plastics, recycling and sustainability. This often leads to interesting, in-depth discussions. Passing on knowledge and information is also part of my work as a Process Technician at EREMA and as a training representative for commissioning technicians. It is always important to me to show others alternative ways, but not to try to change their minds. It's important to me to let everyone express their opinion. It's about being with each other, not against each other. That's the only way we can be the driving force for the circular economy and a clean world.

I find it hard to imagine working for any other company. I appreciate that it is people that are in the foreground, rather than their work or education. Here, everyone is treated with the same level of respect. And because of that, many of my colleagues have already become friends. I can also identify very well with the vision and mission. And my values are very much in line with the company's.

Standing still means step backwards - especially in terms of an important topic such as the future of our planet. It's all the more rewarding when in my job I can teach others, help them progress, so that over the long term we make a contribution to the success of the company and to global recycling.

I am fully behind my work when the projects are thought through to the end and when I see that the trainees - my new colleagues - become more independent. Especially if I then receive positive feedback from them for my work. This can cause goose bumps moments now and again.

Perfectly organized communication talent

Perfectly organized communication talent

At what moments in my job do I feel like I'm doing something worthwhile? Every day! Because logistics is very important for the whole world - and I make my contribution as a company logistics clerk. I learned what it takes to do this during my apprenticeship. What was great about this time was not only the free food in the canteen and the great gym, but also that you learn so much as an apprentice and are never alone. There is always someone there to support you. If you find it difficult to learn, you can take advantage of tutoring. And there is a super great LAP preparation course! After completing my apprenticeship in spring 2022, I was taken on as an employee. I'm very happy about that, because it means I can continue to find solutions with my colleagues for controlling the flow of goods and information, as well as for the transport of goods and their storage. These are important economic functions that create high values. Sounds varied? It is!

In concrete terms, this means: I store parts, check goods, work in the office, where I book goods and much more. This requires organizational talent, flexibility and communication skills as well as logical and analytical thinking and patience. I actually always wanted to work in the social sector because I can deal with people very well. With this strength, I also feel quite comfortable in my current job, where I have a lot of contact with others.
