On Tuesday, 16 October 2018, participants of a vocational integration measure for asylum seekers and migrants visited the company Guth Ventiltechnik. The valve technology experts from Landau had invited the 10 men and women from Afghanistan, Iraq, Poland, Nigeria and Macedonia, led by their lecturer Mr. David Schwarz, to a joint tour of the company. During the tour of the company, visitors were introduced to the processes and work involved in stainless steel processing.
Guth plant manager Josef Heckert guided the guests along the material flow through the plant; from the first processing of the raw material to the dispatch of the finished end product. "We have been working together with ProfeS for quite some time and had already employed a Syrian trainee for a few weeks for professional orientation," says Josef Heckert. ProfeS Gesellschaft für Bildung & Kommunikation mbH" promotes the language skills and social integration of asylum seekers and tolerated persons. And that successfully.
Thanks to the eagerness of the participants, the guided tour could already be held in German. "The participants were all very interested and asked questions about company procedures and concrete career opportunities based on their own CV. For our part, we offered further internships and, if suitable, offered the prospect of future working relationships," was Josef Heckert's positive summary.
