Apprenticeships start in 2025 at Andreas Schmid Group with new manager

Gersthofen, 5 September 2025. On 1 September 2025, 20 young people began their apprenticeships at Andreas Schmid Group. Eva Baur is handing over management of the apprenticeship programme to Lina Jahn as she enters retirement. Apprenticeship is a central pillar for a medium-sized family business – it is where the expertise of tomorrow is developed, which is crucial for the future of the industry and the region.

Medium-sized companies in particular depend on well-trained specialists. Practical training, personal support and genuine development prospects lay the foundation for a successful professional future. The Andreas Schmid Group has been providing apprenticeship for many decades, sending a clear message: investing in young talent means investing in the future.

The first day
The induction day began with a welcome from Eva Baur, who has accompanied the apprentices in recent years. Chief Financial Officer Claudia Ambrosy then presented the company.
An official group photo, safety training and a tour of the transhipment area gave the new colleagues their first insights. There was time for conversation during a joint lunch of pizza, salad and ice cream. In the afternoon, T-shirts and portrait photos were handed out and the apprentices met their mentors for the first time. For the warehouse apprentices, an introduction was followed by the handover of work clothes.

The new apprentices are starting in the following professions:

• Forwarding and logistics services clerks

• IT specialists
• Media designers
• Warehouse logistics specialists
• Warehouse clerks
• Professional driver
• Qualified freight forwarding trainees with permanent jobs

Next steps
In the coming weeks, training courses on topics such as simpleclub, corporate benefits, report books and an introduction to the apprentice code of conduct are on the agenda. In addition, apprentices coaching will begin – a proven format that supports professional and personal development right from the start.

Handover in training management
A special moment was the symbolic handover of apprenticeship management: after many years of dedicated work for the apprentices, Eva Baur retired. Lina Jahn is now taking over from her.

“Training young people is a task that goes far beyond the profession. It’s about promoting talent, developing personalities and opening up perspectives. I’m very much looking forward to embarking on this journey together with our new apprentices,” explains Lina Jahn. She has been responsible for personnel development at the Andreas Schmid Group for two years and is now also taking on the role of apprenticeship manager.

In her speech, CFO Claudia Ambrosy thanked Eva Baur for her many years of commitment. She has accompanied more than 20 cohorts of apprentices through their apprenticeship period. The Andreas Schmid Group wishes her all the best for her retirement.
