AMCON Software GmbH from Cloppenburg has been committed to training its own specialists for many years and takes on more than ten new trainees and dual students every year.
To attract new trainees, AMCON actively participates in various career orientation events, such as the nationwide Future Day and the regional holiday program “Ferienpass.” Thanks to this commitment, AMCON stood out among companies across Germany and was nominated, along with four other organizations, for the 2023 “Ausbildungs-Ass” award in the category of “Training Initiatives.” This award honors the most innovative and forward-thinking training programs in Germany each year. The award ceremony will take place on November 6, 2023, in Berlin.
The “Nachwuchs fördert Nachwuchs” initiative: Young talent guiding the next generation
Through its activity days, AMCON introduces children and young people to careers in the IT industry at an early stage. Participants rotate through multiple stations, where they complete various tasks and gain their first programming experience in a playful, hands-on way. The initiative’s motto is “Nachwuchs fördert Nachwuchs” (“Young talent supports young talent”) — and what makes it truly special is that AMCON’s own trainees are responsible for organizing, running, and following up on these events. “For us, this initiative is a win-win. Our trainees take ownership of a project, learning independence, responsibility, and organizational skills. At the same time, we help young people explore career options early on. It’s a great opportunity for us to identify and nurture future talent whom we can then train into skilled professionals. After all, training holds a very high priority for us,” says Olaf Clausen, Managing Director of AMCON.
