MEHLER TEXNOLOGIES: TRAINEES ENGAGE IN „SOCIAL WEEK“
Each year, trainees from Mehler Texnologies engage in a "Social Week". In December 2015 six trainees were released a week to assist the Tafel in Heinsberg and the SPS Foundation, a non-profit association for refugee assistance.
Support for refugees
Many refugee camps lack not only financial resources, but also volunteers who help active locally. For this reason, the trainees of Mehler Texnologies made the clear decision to support refugees. For one week,
they helped in the emergency shelter in Niederheid and in a refugee shared flat in Lindern and won herewith deeper insight into the everyday life of refugees.
Assisting the Tafel
Even before the rise in numbers of refugees there were people in need in our ranks. This often withdraw from society, so that they remain unnoticed in everyday life. To help these financially and often socially disadvantaged, the trainees supported the Tafel in Heinsberg. For this facility, they collected food in supermarkets to make it available for the Tafel.
Positive feedback
As a global employer Mehler Texnologies is aware of its responsibility towards society and proves good intention thanks to the project "Social Week" for three years. Besides social skills, the trainees benefit from the development of professional skills: the independent planning, implementation and taking charge of responsibility of the project are valuable experiences that have a positive impact on the performance of
future tasks in their work environment. In addition, the social engagement is an opportunity to develop personally in a very different work experience.
