Electricity – Wael's passion
What career steps have you already taken at DRÄXLMAIER?
I am a mechatronics engineer and worked as a maintenance manager in another company. In 2019, I finally joined DRÄXLMAIER in Tunisia as a vocational trainer.
I supervise the trainees here in the dual training system, which consists of 50% school and 50% work in the company. My main tasks are to prepare and instruct the trainees in practical and theoretical exercises, to familiarize them with new technical topics and to provide technical training for the employees.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
Sharing my experience. It is really my dream job. During my work at the training department in production I realized, that it is easy for me to explain complex things to new coworkers. So in 2020 I became trainer for professional production operation and after 1,5 years I changed to Electromechanics.
Today I not only work with apprentices, we also provide trainings for workers as well and we are planning to do much more. Right now I prepare helpful lists for my coworkers to perform their tasks even better, to understand how the equipment works and how to handle it, how to troubleshoot and so on.
In your opinion, what makes dual education in Tunisia special?
In my opinion, dual education in Tunisia is one of the best forms of apprenticeship. The tailor-made model guarantees the highest quality of training in the industrial sector. In addition, the dual system enables trainees to integrate well into working life at an early stage.
What was your best experience working in dual training?
Working in vocational training is indeed a great experience for me. The graduation day is one of the best for me. Every single one of our trainees has worked hard up to this day, learned a lot and therefore deserves to finally go from apprentice to colleague at DRÄXLMAIER.
Do you have any hobbies, passions or talents that you would like to talk about?
My work is my passion, I learn a lot and am constantly researching automation or technological innovations around the world. I am particularly fascinated by electricity, which is why I enjoy solving electronics problems in my spare time or designing my own installations at home or for my friends. On the other hand, I enjoy being out in nature and camping at beautiful places together with my friends.
