1950 – 2025: Future-proof training

Currently, 141 young people are completing their training at BUTTING in Knesebeck. They can choose from eleven apprenticeships and five degree programmes.

The history of training at BUTTING began 75 years ago.

On 1 April 1950, the first apprentice began his training in the copper smithing trade. 

A secure job, even after training, and the opportunity for continuous development are still part of the prospects for all trainees today. 

Awards such as ‘Zukunftgeber’ (Future Maker) and ‘IHK-Top-Ausbildungsbetrieb’ (IHK Top Training Company) are seals of approval for the quality of training at BUTTING.

A particular highlight was the 2024 World Champion title in welding for a plant mechanic who completed his training and preparation for the championship at BUTTING in Knesebeck. BUTTING is generally a regular guest in the top places at ‘Jugend schweißt’ (Youth Welding). In addition, there are numerous awards at the IHK's Best Honours.

‘I am always delighted when I hear about the great achievements of our future leaders,’ says Hermann Butting with a smile. ‘Today's young talent is the future of our company. Only together with them can we continue to develop BUTTING in a sustainable manner. That is why we have been investing in the training of our own specialists and managers for 75 years.’

A colourful bouquet of advantages and benefits during training have made BUTTING a popular training company in the region. Right from the start, the training programme inspires year after year with an informative introductory week, an iPad for digital learning and much more. Numerous other highlights await during the training programme: events, trainee trips, bonuses for special achievements and much more. "Our trainees are supported by a large team of experienced, dedicated experts. They are assisted by contact persons from all areas of the company. This enables our experts of tomorrow to gain valuable experience and learn what they need for a successful future," says Dr Claudia Rohde, Head of Training & Talent Management at BUTTING in Knesebeck, explaining the strengths of the training programme.
