On Monday, the trainees will attend the traditional introductory seminar at the Benediktbeuern Monastery in Upper Bavaria. "At DRÄXLMAIER, we attach a great deal of importance to team spirit. In Benediktbeuern, the trainees and instructors can get to know each other better in a special atmosphere", said Barbara Gerber, who is the director of international training. In the introductory seminar, the new trainees will encounter workshops on topics like "The car of the future" and "Sustainability" as well as a knowledge rally.
