On Girls’ Day, girls between the ages of 10 and 13 in Germany will
have the opportunity to get a taste of exciting technical professions,
gain practical experience in a small project, and find out about training opportunities. According to the Girls’ Day survey, the share of women is currently still below 40 %, especially in general technical professions. The internationally renowned event day aims to draw attention to this and encourage young female professionals to also try out other career options. The BLANC & FISCHER Training Academy has also been taking part for many years, which is an important step in the right direction.
In Mexico, Candlemas, or Día de la Candelaria, is traditionally celebrated on February 2. On this day, Mexicans share traditional dishes with their family and friends. At the joint celebrations
to honor this occasion, employees of E.G.O. Componentes Electrónicos S.A. de C.V. organized a special fundraising campaign in Querétaro, Mexico. They distributed traditional Mexican holiday dishes and drinks in orphanages and nursing homes—naturally subject to strict hygiene measures. This delighted those people who would otherwise not be able to celebrate with each other.
Feeling good, having a good quality of life—these are things that are inevitably of interest to everyone. However, they are rarely discussed in a professional setting although the workplace has a major impact on one’s general quality of life. And this, in turn, makes it possible to perform better. ARPA SAS (ARPA) therefore wanted to get answers to the following questions in workshops and an employee survey: Which elements have the greatest impact on your overall quality of life? What expectations do you have of ARPA in this regard? What can ARPA specifically contribute to this? This survey is part of the #grandirensemble (#growtogether) initiative, which aims to inspire employees and customers and achieve long-term growth and good results.
Apprentices at the BLANC & FISCHER Training Academy
are trained to become energy scouts at the Karlsruhe chamber of industry and commerce. In a series of work-shops, the future energy scouts will learn how to identify and implement energy-saving measures. Practical knowledge is also imparted, for example how to use measuring instruments or ultrasonic sensors. Among other things, the trainees were able to locate and rectify leaks in compressed air systems. Sustainable education not only helps to save money and resources, it also helps to impart awareness for the environment among employees.
During the introductory weeks of the BLANC & FISCHER Training Academy, the new apprentices and DHBW students were on a sustainable mission. Together with the energy scouts, junior staff trained in energy efficiency and energy saving, they headed
to the “Klima Arena” climate arena in Sinsheim. There, they were made aware of sus- tainability issues and were able to consolidate and expand their knowledge. In the four areas of “Living and Energy”, “Mobility”, “Lifestyle and Consumption,” and in the outdoor area of the climate arena, the “Nature Habitat”, everything they learned was applied in more depth. This knowledge that can then be used profitably, whether in professional or personal settings.

The aim is to achieve an even more efficient use of donations and to provide assistance to people in need together, quickly, and in a coordinated manner.
