Lots of facts and figures to start.
After the positive experience with the two-day pilot project "NEX Welcome Days" last year in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, this content was also extended to French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino this summer. In German-speaking Switzerland, the "First Steps NEX cablex" took place for the first time, held over the course of three days at the BKW training centre in Kallnach and in Bern.
These three days spent together enabled the joiners to absorb and directly apply the wide-ranging content in a more targeted and practice-oriented way. In addition to the topics relating to the shift into professional life and the independence that comes with it, there was sufficient time for an initial immersion in the organization, work processes and values of cablex. There was also time for some bonding at a barbecue evening for everyone.
Also in a new form, the safety training courses directly following the "NEX Welcome Days" took place in all three language regions. Together with colleagues from Safety cablex, this training has been reformulated for apprentices with a greater focus on experience and less on theory. Here, for example, our apprentices were able to see live what happens to a carrot (as a substitute for their own toes) when a hammer weighing five kilograms falls on it – once when well protected in an S3 safety shoe and once in a sneaker.
After the induction days, the apprentices were taken under the wings of their vocational trainers, with whom they tackle the theoretical and practical tasks of the apprenticeship. We wish all apprentices a successful start at cablex and are delighted that they have chosen to undertake their apprenticeships here.
Congratulations on completing an apprenticeship in 2023!
In July of this year, six Network Electricians with Swiss Federal Certificate of Proficiency (EFZ) specialising in telecommunications completed their apprenticeships at cablex successfully. Congratulations to them, and we are delighted that we are able to offer all our graduating apprentices a job at cablex. All the colleagues at cablex are looking forward to working with them in the future and welcome the apprenticeship leavers to the daily routine.
