BITZER welcomes eight new apprentices in Schkeuditz

In August 2025, BITZER, a specialist in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump technology, welcomed eight new apprentices at its Schkeuditz site, offering them long-term career development opportunities within the company.

Seven of the new recruits have started training as industrial mechanics, while one is beginning training as a mechatronics technician. This brings the total number of apprentices at the Schkeuditz location to 30, including 26 industrial mechanics, one warehouse logistics specialist and three mechatronics technicians. BITZER is among the largest training companies in the production sector in North Saxony.

“The new apprentices bring diverse backgrounds in terms of age and education. We see this diversity as a great opportunity,” said Susann Welke, Head of Human Resources at BITZER in Schkeuditz. “We are excited to see the dynamics that will develop in the teams and learning process. For us, training is not only about developing skilled workers but also about fostering personal growth.”

To mark the start of the 2025 training year, BITZER organised an apprentice camp at Grillensee to help the newcomers settle in and strengthen team spirit. In addition, a joint barbecue evening in August will promote exchange between the new apprentices, trainers and other employees.

BITZER in Schkeuditz currently employs 840 people and continues to pursue a strong training strategy. “Our training has been a reliable path to long-term career prospects for decades. Many of our skilled workers began their careers with us as apprentices,” added Welke. The company aims to adapt its training portfolio to future workforce needs and integrate new occupational profiles to ensure secure jobs in the growing refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump sector.

The application phase for the 2026 training year is already underway. Details on training programmes and job vacancies are available on BITZER’s career website, and insights into the company’s work environment can be found on its YouTube channel.
