Accompanied by his trainer Jonas Lorenzen and Hendrik Bohlen, representing the Executive Board, Till received his personal award at the ceremony. Hendrik Bohlen also accepted the certificate recognizing Werum’s outstanding achievements in vocational training on behalf of the company.

"We are delighted to receive this double recognition. Till’s achievement shows what is possible with dedication and strong support throughout an apprenticeship. At the same time, the award for Werum is a great acknowledgment of all the colleagues who support our apprentices and dual-study students with their knowledge and experience," says Hendrik Bohlen, Member of the Executive Board of Werum Software & Systems AG.

Successful vocational training is a joint effort between committed young professionals and colleagues who share their knowledge and experience. The award presented to Werum therefore also recognizes the commitment we put into supporting our apprentices throughout their professional development.

At Werum, we offer young people a range of opportunities to start their careers in IT. These include vocational training programs for IT specialists in application development and IT specialists in system integration, as well as dual study programs in Applied Computer Science and Computer Science – Technical Systems. This enables young professionals to gain practical experience from the very beginning while developing their professional skills.

We are delighted about this double recognition and warmly congratulate Till on his outstanding achievement. At the same time, we would like to thank all our colleagues whose commitment contributes to successful vocational training at Werum.
