Volkswagen Group<\/a> South Africa\u2019s very own Body Shop Maintenance Engineer, Abdul Aziz Goosein, was on Thursday 25 November 2012 named as one of the Volkswagen Groups \u201cBest Apprentice Award\u201d recipients at an awards ceremony in Stuttgart, Germany. The award is bestowed upon the top young achievers from all over the world.<\/p>\n

This year, the award for outstanding professional competence was conferred on 27 apprentices from twelve countries.
\nThe awards were presented by the Chairman of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG, Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, the Member of the Board of Management responsible for Human Resources, Dr. Horst Neumann and the President of the Volkswagen Global Group Works Council, Bernd Osterloh.<\/p>\n

Prof. Winterkorn said \u201cIn order to become the world\u2019s best automaker and set the pace in the industry, Volkswagen needs every single employee \u2013 particularly tomorrow\u2019s top performers. The Volkswagen Group<\/a> brands will shine even brighter in future with committed and motivated young employees like those we are honoring today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Neumann echoed his sentiments, saying \u201cFor Volkswagen\u2019s continued success we must master profound changes in fields such as lightweight construction, vehicle electronics and electric traction. That can only be achieved with much dedication and the highest specialist competence. These apprentices set the benchmark in this context. At the same time, the introduction of transnational training standards is paying off.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year, the Volkswagen Group<\/a> is training 12145 apprentices worldwide.<\/p>\n

Osterloh said \u201cWe are very proud of our apprentices and their achievements. The young colleagues we are honoring today make us very optimistic about the further development of our Company. The Works Council will continue to advocate investing in training all over the world, thereby safeguarding employment perspectives for young men and women.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apart from attending the \u201cBest Apprentice Award\u201d ceremony, the young people are also participating in a program spanning several days and have already visited the Baden-W\u00fcrttemberg capital city of Stuttgart, and the Porsche plant, museum and training centre for automotive mechatronics fitters. A driver safety training session is also part of the program.<\/p>\n
