Examiner at the Chamber of Industry and Commerce

The Head of Phoenix Solar’s traineeship programme sits on various examination boards at the Munich Chamber of Industry and Commerce. She examines trainees undertaking various professional traineeships in the greater Munich area. This provides Phoenix Solar with an insight into other companies and enables suggestions and lessons learned to be incorporated into its own traineeship programme.

Awards

Ms. Simone Eichmeier, Phoenix Solar's HR Manager for vocational training, sits on several examination boards of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for Munich and Upper Bavaria. She examines the apprentices of Greater Munich in a number of different commercial professions. These activities give Phoenix Solar an insight into other companies, and the experience gained can be integrated into its training program. This is how Phoenix Solar makes an active contribution to furthering apprenticeship training.

As from July 2011, Ms. Simone Eichmeier will be chairing the office administrator examination board of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of Munich and Upper Bavaria. Furthermore, she has been appointed a member of the AKA Committee (committee tasked with intermediate and final examinations for the profession of office administrator) which is part of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for Middle Franconia in Nuremberg.

Personnel development as part of training

To recruit suitably talented young people but also to enable them to obtain qualifications in different areas, the company joined the Training Association of the Fürstenfeld Professional Training Agency in September 2009. A comprehensive programme for obtaining additional qualifications was drawn up in collaboration with the association’s member companies to provide all trainees from the network with regular opportunities to benefit from the expertise of the network partners.

Phoenix Solar offers a “ready for the exam” course in which trainees from other companies can participate. This fosters exchange with external trainees and personnel development. As part of this process, trainees can voluntarily participate in the training courses of other association companies.

To drive forward the company’s international positioning in a targeted way, all trainees take part in an e-learning programme in English. Workshops on specialist topics and a business lunch are also held.
