ARIKON scores at career orientation day
GREAT INTEREST OF THE STUDENTS OF THE GOTTLIEB DAIMLER SCHOOL IN LUDWIGFELD
The students at the Gottlieb Daimler School in Ludwigsfelde showed great interest in the training opportunities presented at the career orientation day for graduating classes in mid-June. Companies from the region took the opportunity to present themselves and their range of services. Also present: ARIKON with training ambassador Chantal Schuster (pictured above right with a participating student).And the company, which has a branch in Ludwigsfelde in the form of ARIKON Infrastruktur und Umwelttechnik GmbH, scored highly with the interested junior staff.
The ARIKON presentation stand was in great demand. Not only because the students wanted to win ARIKON as a cooperation partner and sponsor for a charity run. There were chic ARIKON T-shirts, caps and other giveaways. However, it was much more important for the students to have Chantal Schuster as a personal and authentic contact person for all questions regarding training at ARIKON. "Our own training ambassador for us young people? That's great! I've never experienced that before!" was the astonished comment of some of the students.
Since 2022, ARIKON has maintained a partnership with the Ludwigsfelde secondary school. There is also a partnership with the Dabendorf secondary and comprehensive school. For ARIKON, the cooperations offer the possibility of close collaboration with the schools. For example, ARIKON can present itself directly on site on career information days.
THE TOPIC "TRAINING AT ARIKON" HAS A PERSONAL FACE
Chantal Schuster, 21 years old and official ARIKON training ambassador since 2021, enthusiastically uses the opportunities at the events to come into direct contact with the young people who will soon have to look for internship, apprenticeship or study places. As a direct contact person for the young people, she puts a personal face on the subject of "training at ARIKON". "Thanks to my age, I certainly have a somewhat easier time getting into conversation with the young people. And since I myself have completed an apprenticeship at ARIKON, I naturally know the questions, fears and problems of the students who now have to decide on an apprenticeship. The young people notice that very quickly - and this authenticity creates closeness and trust."

In her third year of training, Chantal Schuster has already taken on the role of training ambassador at ARIKON. In a certified online course, she learned strategies and approaches for specifically addressing trainees and bringing the training profession closer to young people. The topic was also the subject of her final thesis. She also conducted her own series of interviews to test the methods and impact of addressing potential applicants.

ARIKON PRESENTS ITSELF AS AN ATTRACTIVE EMPLOYER BRAND
"The support from ARIKON for me as an apprenticeship ambassador has been great from the start. ARIKON wants to intensify its cooperation with schools and universities. ARIKON takes the topic of "recruiting young people" very seriously. The interested young people also notice this. They feel that they are taken seriously and valued. I hear this again and again in our discussions! There was no comparable position for a training ambassador at the other participating companies. The young people were very attentive to this!" was Chantal Schuster's summary.

At the ARIKON information booth, there was not only information about the training opportunities at the Ludwigsfelde site. ARIKON presented itself as a high-performance group with a wide range of opportunities in all ARIKON companies. This also went down well with the young people.
At the final charity run on Career Orientation Day, ARIKON also made a visible visual statement as an attractive employer brand. Chantal Schuster had distributed around 40 ARIKON T-shirts and caps at the ARIKON information booth before the run - and all those who got hold of one or the other beautiful piece also wore it during the sponsored run: an impressive image.
