Our trainees tell
Our trainee Anika talks about her experiences during her training as an industrial clerk at Testo Industrial Services.
Hi there! This greeting was very unusual for me at the beginning, because it goes through all positions from trainee to department management to management, but that's exactly how we interact with each other.
My name is Anika and I started my training as an office management assistant at Testo Industrial Services in September 2021.
The industrial clerks are trained in Kirchzarten and the office management clerks can be found at locations such as Winsen, Essen and Dachau.
It was always clear to me that I wanted to have an office job and the profession of office management assistant is a good basis to get the first insight from all commercial departments of a company (order processing, accounting, marketing and HR).
How did I come to TIS? Quite simply: through the employment agency. The apprenticeship profession can be offered in many different companies and I wanted to have a rough overview of the companies in my area.
Testo convinced me with its team spirit and flat hierarchy.
I also found the idea of being part of a large trainee community exciting - after all, there are over 70 trainees and students at our company.
I started my training in logistics in Winsen after the introductory week that takes place in Kirchzarten for all new trainees and students. This served to get to know the customers of the Winsen site and to have the first contact with the test equipment that we calibrate. One then already had a caliper test equipment, a torque wrench or even Testo devices and much more in one's hand. In addition, you were able to get the first overview of the calibration possibilities at the other locations - not every location calibrates everything and you have to know that in order processing.
In logistics, I also got to know incoming and outgoing goods. In other words, the beginning and the end of the test equipment's time with us.
After that, I moved directly to order processing and learned step by step how to enter orders. I got to know the programs and the process - but was allowed to realize that it's not always the same. Since every customer has different wishes or specifications, this work is very varied.
Learning a commercial profession at the other locations brings with it a few special features compared to Kirchzarten, where you have all the departments on site. The sites can offer order processing, the supplier team and logistics as an area and for the other departments you travel 2-3 weeks at a time per department to the Black Forest.
In the summer of 2022, I'm in my first new department - Sales - and create the quotations, which I can later take over when entering orders. After that, the Finance and Human Resources departments in Kirchzarten are still waiting for me.
Depending on the location, you have block instruction or you always have vocational school on fixed days of the week: Winsen = fixed days, Dachau = block instruction, Essen = block instruction. But there is no difference in the learning content. In all departments, you learn the theoretical knowledge directly applied in practice. For example, in the subject of registration: that you understand why delivery notes are scanned.
Testo Industrial Services offers the trainees a wide range of trainee projects. Be it in the creative area, where you can, for example, contribute to the employee newspaper or design the Instagram page with the social media team. In the sustainability team, you create videos or articles to give employees an understanding of topics such as the carbon footprint.
I feel very comfortable here, am happy to learn something new every day and can only recommend the training.
