Hamburg - The success of the energy transition requires many young people to take up professions such as refrigeration technician, electrician or solar technician. The young generation bears a great deal of responsibility with their career decisions. AKKU SYS has now opened its doors to girls and boys interested in technology.
Girls and boys aged between 13 and 18 were able to get a taste of what it's like to watch solar technicians at work. For example, photovoltaic modules were installed, wired to the inverter and integrated into the existing energy management system. This was followed by technical monitoring.
Energy transition and climate protection are the key issues of the present and future, as became clear during a final discussion with the young people. AKKU SYS is convinced that the decision in favour of technical professions plays a central role in shaping this future. That is why the company is actively committed to getting girls and boys interested in these exciting professions.
Manuela Biesterfeldt, Head of HR at AKKU SYS: "With predominantly female managers in the company, we are showing how things can be done in a world of technology. Nevertheless, women are severely underrepresented in all areas of renewable energy technology. This is particularly true in the areas of assembly and electrics, while male employees often make up a small proportion in administration."
Ready for photovoltaic school projects and open to career changers
The use of renewable energies is a great opportunity for all generations that must not be wasted. The demand for photovoltaic technology from customers - including school authorities - is currently very high. AKKU SYS is generally open to projects with secondary schools in the region on this topic and provides support with technology and offers for vocational schools.
There are currently numerous vacancies at AKKU SYS. There is often the option of doing an internship first to find out more. "We also offer career changers the opportunity to find out about the company and the professions as part of short-term internships," emphasises Björn Nowosadtko, Managing Director of AKKU SYS.
