Follow on Google News | Bühler Aeroglide Welcomes New Apprentices in CaryNew Workforce Development and Education Initiative Bolsters Manufacturing and Builds Careers
By: Bühler Aeroglide “There are multiple pathways to a successful career and an apprenticeship is a great option,” said Lukas Schoenwetter, the Director of Human Resources at Bühler Aeroglide. “We’ve created a unique opportunity to empower young people and help them gain valuable work experience combined with a college education.” The new apprenticeship, modeled after a program offered by parent company Bühler Group in Uzwil, Switzerland, will introduce students to all aspects of manufacturing such as automation, engineering and design, and building and fabrication. After four years, students will graduate with an associate degree in mechanical engineering and credentials recognized by the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the US Department of Labor. As co-founder of the North Carolina Triangle Apprenticeship Program (NCTAP), Bühler Aeroglide worked with six Triangle companies last year to establish the apprentice ‘standard.’ “We are pleased to have had a key role in developing this new apprenticeship standard in North Carolina and we thank colleagues and supporters who helped make it possible,” said Schoenwetter. “As someone who entered Bühler’s program in Switzerland at a younger age myself, it’s very important to me to see this program realized in the US. An education combined with access to the shop floor will help high school graduates build successful careers in manufacturing. These apprentices, in turn, will go on to be highly-skilled employees and will be vital to the development of new ideas, new technologies, and new products that help grow the economy.” For more information about apprenticeships with Bühler Aeroglide, contact lukas.schoenwetter@ Bühler Aeroglide manufactures dryers, ovens, roasters, toasters, and hot air expansion systems for the food, feed and industrial product markets.
