Promote young talents within the company. Like in 2008 and 2009 (see our dispatch No. 080060), the phone operator wants to hire 3,500 new employees in 2010, including 1,400 young postgraduates and experts with professional experience. The remaining 2,100 posts will be given to young people who were trained by Deutsche Telekom (DT). In addition, DT also wants to offer, this year too, nearly 3,300 apprenticeship places. “With 11,000 apprentices, we’re the company that trains the most apprentices in Germany and our training offer greatly exceeds our needs” a DT spokesman told Planet Labor. In a communiqué, Thomas Stattelberger, DT’s human resources director, explained that the company had to be ready for the “serious shortage in skilled workers” that is coming and for “demographical and technological evolution.” “In spite of the economic crisis, we have to keep balancing the age structure in the company” the HRD warned, adding that the company chose, this year, with 2,100 apprentices, to focus on promoting its own next generation. “Promoting our ‘in-house’ young talents is the key to our company’s future. Hence my advice to other businesses: he who wants to reap also has to sow, even in difficult times.”
