It's more than just a colourful Easter present – second-year trainees used a 3D printer to produce creative Easter eggs out of brightly coloured plastic and make a festive Easter nest for their new colleagues. Last week they gave some thought as to how they could speed up the waiting time for their future colleagues, who they got to know during a taster day at the company. 

LQ Mechatronik-Systeme has obtained appropriate certification for the X-TEC / W-TEC 15 connector/cable combination so that the company can also meet the stricter safety regulations on the continent of North America. LQ's product has been tested extensively at the I²PS test institute in Bonn, an independent laboratory certified by the independent US organisation Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

Eight pupils visited the LQ Group at the end of March to gain an initial impression of the training courses on offer.  The range of training available is greater than ever and job profiles are becoming more specialised. It's good to get the opportunity to look over the shoulders of real trainees and get a picture of what it entails for yourself. Pupils from Year 8 at the Auf dem Laiern School in Kirchheim/Neckar took the opportunity to visit the factory with their teachers but they were particularly interested in the trainees' mechatronics workshop.
