Successful Appearance at Ausbildung 49 – Strong Interest in Our Apprenticeships
On May 16 and 17, 2025, we took part in the Ausbildung 49 trade fair at Halle Gartlage – and we look back on two exciting and successful days. With a dedicated team, we proudly represented Lacroix + Kress GmbH and showcased our wide range of apprenticeship opportunities to a diverse audience. Over 5,300 visitors took advantage of the opportunity for targeted career guidance.
One highlight was the particularly strong interest in the apprenticeship program for materials testers (m/f/d). Many students took the opportunity to speak directly with our specialists and learn about the tasks, requirements, and career prospects of this varied and important profession.
“I didn’t expect so many students to ask such specific questions about materials testing. It’s great to see how much interest there was in our profession – and to be able to show just how exciting and vital our work is for the industry.”
– Jannik, Quality, Trainer for Materials Testing at Lacroix + Kress
Our team also provided insights into our production processes, products, and the everyday work in our various professional fields. The focus was on personal, authentic conversations at eye level.
“It’s always great to see how curious and motivated young people are. Events like this show just how important it is to provide orientation and real insights early on.”
– Simon, Electronics Engineer at Lacroix + Kress
For the 2026 training year, we are offering apprenticeships in the following professions:
- Materials Tester (m/f/d)
- Industrial Mechanic (m/f/d)
- Electronics Technician for Industrial Engineering (m/f/d)
- Industrial Clerk (m/f/d)
We would like to thank Ausbildung 49 and the entire organizing team for giving us the opportunity to take part again this year. The exchange with young talents, parents, and teachers was extremely valuable – and we’re already looking forward to receiving applications and welcoming many new faces to our team.
