Training staff play a key role in supporting young people along the pathway into working life and in preparing them for the requirements of the occupation. Trainers need to be up to speed professionally. Above all, they also need to be able to form a relationship with young people. Reconciling professional and pedagogical know-how can sometimes be challenging, particularly as new demands are constantly emerging in both of these areas. In this interview, Dr. Thomas Koppe describes how Merck, a company based in Darmstadt, supports its training staff in this respect.
