High-school students
and apprentices

“I am a Green Steel Pioneer because I am passionate about working with metal.”

“Some people think that craft trades are not for women. But I see it differently: I’ve always enjoyed practical work and looking for solutions to technical problems. Now I’m going to be an industrial mechanic at GMH Gruppe. Because without industrial mechanics, the smelter won’t run, I’m quite confident about that. I repair assemblies and individual parts of the production facilities. I monitor production processes and make sure that the systems are ready for operation.”

“When did you experience collectiveness in GMH Gruppe?”

“The first time was at the Trainee Days. All new trainees in the entire group were invited to a meeting lasting several days. There was a lot of information, but also a lot of fun and team activities. I got to know lots of new people from the other locations.”

“My daily GreenSteelPioneer moment”:

“Every morning when I put on my work clothes, I know: now I’m back to work, now I can do what I like to do best – work with my hands and my head.”

“I am a Green Steel Pioneer because my training will give me job security in the future.”

“After graduating from secondary school, I started my apprenticeship as a assistant to the management of the Forwarding and Logistics Services. Here I work in many areas of the company: from purchasing, sales, logistics and shipping to human resources, training and development and controlling. For example, I negotiate with suppliers, am the contact person for our customers and process applications.”

“Do you think that sustainability plays a role in your work?”

“I am convinced that I am working in a sustainable company. And for me, training in the steel industry means a job in an industry of the future: if we want to live sustainably, steel is an important material for this. After all, it is used to make wind turbines and efficient energy generation plants, for example.”

“My daily GreenSteelPioneer moment”:

“Whenever I am in contact with external parties such as suppliers or customers, I can explain and demonstrate the importance of Green Steel. That makes me proud.”
