Training keeps pace with product development | The high demands made by Zeppelin of its products and services both in the area of production and in the trading and service activities require the constant and continuing training of employees, a receptiveness to new challenges, and the willingness to learn and keep on learning. The offer of comprehensive training by the Zeppelin Academy is an integral element of the corporate culture. Employees and customers alike make enthusiastic use of it. Knowledge is imparted in theory and practice in in-house courses, organized at the Zeppelin Training Center in Kaufbeuren or the Caterpillar Demonstration and Training Center in Malaga, Spain. | Expanding horizons | To train service technicians an interactive learning system has been installed with the aim of digesting knowledge, updating old skills and applying newly acquired know-how for the benefit of the customer. Courses held by external trainers and extending beyond specific technical issues improve general knowledge and provide special information on topics ranging from data processing to leadership. |
|  | | Training competency – good for the customer too | | Our customers also profit from the high standard of our training, which can last between one and several days. Upon introduction of a new piece of equipment, for example. In addition, we offer earth moving seminars, courses on other special subjects, or so-called maintenance seminars, where shop foremen and technicians get information and valuable tips for optimizing the servicing of their construction machinery. | | The best teacher: daily work experience! | | Zeppelin sets special store upon the purposive, realistic training of junior staff. The Trade division concentrates on training commercial specialists at Headquarters and in the branch establishments as well as training young recruits for service work in the shops of the field organization and at full-time vocational schools in Breisach and Hürth. Zeppelin even has helped develop an occupational specification for “agricultural and construction machinery mechanics” in order to ensure appropriate and realistic training of our future service technicians. |
