FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, GERMANY – 32 apprentice trainees have successfully completed their vocational training at Rolls-Royce Power Systems in Friedrichshafen this summer, with three of them receiving a special award for scoring an average mark of 1.4 or more in their final examinations: Andreas Futterer (industrial mechanic), Andreas Matt (metal technology specialist) and Alexander Gomeringer (product designer) were awarded prizes by the Lake Constance & Upper Swabia Chamber of Trade & Industry. They – and all other finishers – have been offered contracts of employment in their respective disciplines. “I'm very pleased for our summer apprenticeship graduates, and delighted that they are starting their careers with us. The fact that no less than three of them have won awards for their outstanding performance demonstrates that our apprenticeship training is delivering excellent results,” said Marcus A.
