AMCON (August 7, 2017) — The world is becoming increasingly connected, and rapid changes are also impacting mobility. There is a demand for new, demand-oriented transport concepts that can only be made possible through innovative software solutions.
As a provider of fare management, passenger information, and communication systems for buses and trains, AMCON has supported transport companies for many years in making public transport more attractive and efficient. This requires well-trained employees who are not afraid to take on leadership roles.
“Especially in the IT sector, the labor market is highly competitive, and recruiting qualified employees often involves enormous costs. That’s why we have developed our own leadership program for trainees, which specifically prepares our dual students for the tasks of a project manager with leadership responsibilities,” says Olaf Clausen, Managing Director of AMCON. Even during their studies at IBS Oldenburg and the accompanying training in the company, the trainees take on important and demanding tasks of their project managers depending on their performance level and independently handle the execution. This also includes estimating the effort for individual projects and conducting customer meetings, tasks that in many other companies are reserved for more experienced employees. For dual students whose performance already shows leadership qualities, AMCON offers further training measures and leadership seminars, conducted both internally and externally. “Especially the external training measures bring new momentum to our company. In our industry, it is very important to look beyond the immediate scope and work on projects with foresight,” Clausen adds. AMCON places great importance on binding trainees and dual students to the company in the long term. “We aim for a long-term collaboration on equal terms and know that only well-trained and motivated employees contribute to a company’s success. This has proven true in the past. Ideally, our three new dual students will become our project managers of tomorrow,” says Darius Rauert, Managing Director of AMCON.
