Munich.<\/strong> On October 20, 2017, we officially opened our in-house “Lokomotion Training Center” together with numerous representatives from vocational schools, authorities, and other partners. With our wide range of education and training programs, we aim to qualify school leavers and experienced professionals for roles in railway operations. We are officially recognized as a training facility by the Federal Railway Authority. As a result, we offer a qualified opportunity for the initial and further training of railway operations personnel and remain one of the most attractive employers in the industry within the Munich region.<\/p>\n\n

Since our founding in\n2001, well-qualified and dedicated train drivers have been a cornerstone\nof our company’s success. As an expert in trans-Alpine\nfreight transport, our focus\u2014among many other aspects\u2014is on cross-border\nproduction without changing locomotives or personnel at national borders. Since a well-trained\nteam is the heart of every company, we have\ndecided to spin off our existing and proven training units\ninto an independent division\u2014and to provide adequate physical space\nfor the high priority that training holds within our company\n. “The decisive factor for us was the need to counteract the current\nshortage of train drivers in the market. This is only possible through\ninvestment in high-quality training that meets our high standards\n, whether through the three-year IHK vocational training or\nthe one-year retraining for experienced participants,” said Armin Riedl, Managing Director\nof Lokomotion Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Schienentraktion mbH.<\/p>\n\n

Since August 2014,\nwe have been conducting IHK vocational training for railway workers\nin operational service\u2014specializing in engine driving and transport\u2014as part of the dual education system. In February\nof this year, we were able to welcome the first fully trained apprentices into\nour team of train drivers. In July of this year, the first course\nof the one-year functional training for locomotive drivers began; in the future,\ntwo courses per year are planned. <\/p>\n\n

The training center is located in the immediate vicinity of Lokomotion GmbH’s headquarters on Kastenbauerstra\u00dfe in Munich. It features modern and spacious facilities and is equipped with a driving simulator specifically tailored to our needs. In combination with modern teaching materials and instructors with practical experience, we guarantee a high standard of training. <\/p>\n\n
