Trainee Days
On April 11 and 12, 2023, TIB Chemicals AG held its first-ever Trainee Days in the impressive setting of Altleiningen Castle. The goal of the event was to strengthen collaboration among our trainees, promote cross-team interaction, and at the same time impart important skills for their future careers. The two-day event offered a successful mix of training, team building, personal development, and recreational activities.
TIB Chemicals places a high priority on training young talent. That’s why we regularly create opportunities to foster professional and personal exchange among our trainees. The Trainee Days offer an ideal opportunity to make new connections, get to know different departments better, and strengthen a sense of community in the long term.

A highlight of the program was the PREXT training session, which covered topics such as motivation, personal responsibility, commitment to performance, and professional conduct within the company. The practical content encouraged the trainees to reflect on their own strengths and areas for development and to grapple with the demands of modern professional life.
In the afternoon, an exciting business management simulation was on the agenda. Here, the trainees took on the role of company executives and had to make strategic decisions for their virtual company. Over the course of several fiscal years, they analyzed market conditions, planned investments, and developed measures for sustainable corporate growth. The simulation provided practical knowledge of business management concepts and gave participants valuable insights into the tasks and responsibilities of executives.
The second day of the event began with a group outdoor team-building activity in the forest. During a challenging group task, the trainees had to work together to develop solutions and overcome obstacles. Communication, trust, and team spirit were at the heart of the activity. Such experiences foster important social skills that will be crucial in their future professional lives.
The trainee days concluded successfully with a group visit to Holiday Park. Amid roller coasters, water slides, and numerous attractions, the trainees were able to wind down the day in a relaxed atmosphere and enjoy the moments they shared together.
The first Trainee Days were a complete success and underscore TIB Chemicals AG’s commitment to modern, hands-on training in the chemical industry. We look forward to continuing this program and offering our young talent exciting development opportunities in the future as well.
