Training at BEKO TECHNOLOGIES

My name is Alexander Schneider and I am 32 years old.

When I shared a computer with my brother at the age of 12, I was electrified. The possibilities suddenly seemed unlimited and whenever I got my "PC time", I tried out all the technical possibilities in my curiosity. Unscrewing, installing new parts and, naïve as I was, I also downloaded supposedly free software, including all the viruses and Trojans. That's how I was confronted with the first problems that had to be solved. Since then, the IT sector has accompanied me all my life.
But before I decided to do an apprenticeship in the IT sector, I took a little diversions and got a taste of various other areas out of interest. After graduating from high school in 2009, I completed a few internships in media design and marketing. In 2012, I successfully completed my studies at the Düsseldorf Academy for Marketing Communication. During this time, I worked at the UCI cinema in Neuss and then went into sales in 2017. However, I quickly realised that my former passion for technology was catching up with me again. That's why I seized the opportunity and took a job as an installation technician in the private pool sector. From here on, my passion for the IT sector intensified and the idea of an apprenticeship as an IT specialist for system integration was born. After my decision to do an apprenticeship was made, I came across BEKO TECHNOLOGIES via Azubiyo.de.
BEKO TECHNOLOGIES caught my eye not only because it is an internationally operating family business, but also because the focus here is on cooperation and the people behind BEKO TECHNOLOGIES' products. This and the high quality standards act as a multiplier, allowing the family-run company to adopt new ways of thinking and bring aspects such as environmental awareness and energy efficiency to the fore.
Right from the first day of training, the "Welcome Day", I felt welcome at BEKO TECHNOLOGIES. Every positive impression was like a piece of the puzzle that contributed to the overall impression. Well prepared and welcomed by the management, I got to know new as well as existing colleagues. Afterwards, we continued with an interactive quiz. Finally, we went to the showroom, where we learned about the products and techniques for processing compressed air, compressed gas and condensate technology in detail and with our sense of sight as well as smell. Especially the smell sample of a condensate separation made it unmistakably clear how valuable the technology of BEKO TECHNOLOGIES is.
Now I have been with BEKO TECHNOLOGIES for two months and my positive impression is becoming more and more solid. I was warmly welcomed by the staff right from the start and there was always respectful interaction. In a two-week rhythm, I already got to know different departments and people and appreciated their work and social skills. I quickly realised that the company is very well prepared for its new employees and trainees, even in times of pandemic. Every question I had was answered.
Looking to the future, I see myself well prepared with the training and look forward to exciting tasks that will follow. The decision to train as an IT specialist for system integration at BEKO TECHNOLOGIES was exactly the right one!

My name is David Knaup and I have been a trainee mechatronics technician at BEKO TECHNOLOGIES since 1 August 2022.

After passing my A-levels in the summer of 2021, I was initially undecided about what I wanted to do now. As I had always enjoyed building things with Lego as a child and it was clear to me that I didn't want a purely office-based job, I enrolled to study civil engineering at Aachen University of Applied Sciences. However, I quickly realised that I wasn't happy in this degree programme, as it was much more theoretical than I thought. In the summer of 2022, I decided that I would like to do something else. Through acquaintances, I came across the apprenticeship as a mechatronics technician here at BEKO TECHNOLOGIES. It was quickly clear to me that this could be something for me! The following week I was already given the opportunity to try out the job and realised that this was exactly what I was looking for. Now I am proud to be part of the BEKO TECHNOLOGIES family.

The first months are already over and I have not regretted for a second that I started this training. The training is very varied and I have already got to know many areas. The staff are all very nice and give you a feeling of security. People treat each other as equals and I, as a trainee, also receive a high level of appreciation, which is shown to me again and again through many little things. In general, there is a consistently good working atmosphere, which I was able to experience by rotating through different departments. With a view to my future, I also see the apprenticeship as a good introduction to the working world. At the moment, I can very well imagine staying with BEKO TECHNOLOGIES beyond the apprenticeship and taking the next steps here.

Overall, my expectations of my training at BEKO TECHNOLOGIES were more than fulfilled.

My name is Dustin Kühn and I have been working at BEKO TECHNOLOGIES since 1 August 2021.

In cooperation with the European University of Applied Sciences (EUFH) in Neuss, I have opted for a dual study programme in the field of general management. After successfully completing my A-levels in summer 2021 at the Quirinus Gymnasium in Neuss, I used the free time to take a holiday together with my school friends.

At the beginning of 2020, I started to get an idea of what I would like to do after my school career. It quickly became clear how interesting and attractive I found the offer of a dual study programme. This was followed by my acceptance from the EUFH and my search for a practical company. The university itself drew my attention to BEKO TECHNOLOGIES and my application followed. The impression conveyed by the website, of a globally active and rapidly growing family business, was confirmed very quickly in the first online meeting. That's why I was even more eager to get a direct impression at the second on-site interview.

After receiving the acceptance letter, my career at BEKO TECHNOLOGIES started with the Welcome Day. This was started by an introduction from the management and continued and enriched with further interactive tasks and many more impressions. What stood out was the impression of a large team working together, with respect and consideration. The promises of high concern for the employees and the functioning cooperation within the team, which is mainly characterised by the mentality as a family-run company that is widespread throughout BEKO TECHNOLOGIES, soon turned out to be no empty promises but real goals of the company.

This is exactly the experience I have had within my time of more than two months that I have already been working at BEKO TECHNOLOGIES. The working atmosphere, the employees, but also the management as well as the everyday working life in general prove to be employee-friendly and familiar. At the same time, there is no lack of imparted knowledge. The time that is taken for me and the intensity of the trust and explanation of the business processes or also the intensive answering of my questions is something you can only wish for, although it is already given here.

Furthermore, I see my dual study programme at BEKO TECHNOLOGIES as a very good preparation for my future career. In addition, the company is very interested in my further training, which is definitely emphasised by training courses that are already booked for me now.

In conclusion, I can say that BEKO TECHNOLOGIES fulfils my expectations and its promises 100% and I feel comfortable here. Likewise, I also see in and at BEKO TECHNOLOGIES a very good starting point for my professional development.

Hello dear readers, my name is Pravin Biraisoody, I am 19 years old and have been with Beko Technologies since 01.11.2022 as an apprentice IT specialist for application development.

In 2021, I graduated from secondary school without a concrete idea of where the journey would take me. I was sure that I wanted to go into IT, but nowadays IT means many things: do you want to start in IT security, as a developer or as a network administrator? It all started in my room, I searched the internet for opportunities to train online. After a short search, I found an online academy where I could learn various beginner programming languages myself.

With my subsequent internship, also with a focus on programming, it was the perfect way to familiarise myself with projects and small skills. At the beginning of 2022, I first decided to take my A-levels, but then realised at school that an apprenticeship made the most sense for me. So, without further ado, I applied to Beko Technologies for the current training year and was able to convince them with my existing knowledge.

Starting at Beko Technologies was probably the best decision in my young professional life! Now I've been there for 6 months and have had the most amazing experiences. I really enjoyed the internal tour at Beko HQ to get to know the different areas of responsibility. Getting to know the different BEKO employees and getting a better understanding of the internal processes was a good experience! I also really enjoyed the excursion with the other BEKO trainees. Every now and then we exchange ideas and help each other with questions.

I am looking forward to more years in the BEKO family and to a great cooperation!
