We were there - Trainee Start 2023

We, the company Ibena Textilwerke GmbH, were among 60 other companies at the Azubi Start fair at the Rhede comprehensive school. Our stand was located next to other industrial companies in the gymnasium. This was a stroke of luck for us, as numerous visitors came by our stand.

Our trainee Mareen reports

My name is Mareen Rottstegge and I am currently training to be an industrial clerk at Ibena. I was there myself together with colleagues from Purchasing, Sales and Production. This gave us a broad base of knowledge and allowed us to answer questions from the students and their parents. At prime time, between half past ten and twelve o'clock, the rush and interest was quite high. Specific questions were asked about the company and the training, but also about the internships on offer.

I can still remember my first visit to an apprenticeship fair when I was about to finish school and I asked myself this vital question: "What am I going to do after school?" At the time, I was glad that I had the opportunity to find out about the companies in the area and see which company would suit me and which apprenticeship I would like to pursue.

Change of perspective

This time I was able to change my perspective and was no longer an interested visitor. This time, I was the one who could help others make the right decision after graduation. 

I found it particularly exciting that you could immediately tell who had already thought about it and who had not. Some were very determined and only wanted to look at the companies they had already considered, while there were also those who were still completely open to suggestions and would have preferred to soak up everything. In summary, it was a very successful and, for me personally, a very interesting first trainee fair, which I was able to help organize for Ibena.
