This week we had something special at the Horstmann company: Year 9 pupils from the Heiligenhaus comprehensive school were our guests for an exciting tour of the company.

This day is part of our cooperation project with the Heiligenhaus comprehensive school and has several objectives:

1️⃣ Experiencing industry up close: Our young guests had the chance to see our company from the inside and get to know it better.

2️⃣ Career insights: We presented apprenticeships in logistics, electronics and commercial professions to show the students different career paths.

3️⃣ Internship opportunities: Students were able to apply directly for internships with us to gain their first practical experience.

On this exciting day, there was not only a tour of the entire company, including production, but also a creative task for the students: they built a miniature model of the energy grid to show how and where our Horstmann products are used.

To do this, they set up a small generator, an LED light that illustrates the household grid and the generator’s route home.
This model showed the students how the monitoring of power grids works in both the underground cable and overhead line areas and how our Horstmann devices react in the event of a fault.

Many thanks to all the participating students, our dedicated trainees, training manager Marcel Pletsch and the class teachers for this eventful day!
