‘During my training as an industrial manager at Schmersal, I was able to familiarise myself with the HR department and gain insight into the work of a personnel officer. That really helped me make decisions about my future career. After my training, I continued to develop in the HR department and was able to prepare for the role I ultimately hoped to occupy. Schmersal even helped me with my accompanying studies! I’m now a HR Business Partner and support various areas of the company independently.‘
