From June 17 to June 29, 2022, a training campaign for schoolchildren took place in Chemnitz to strengthen their digital skills. It consisted of workshops at the Annenschule Chemnitz and a subsequent BoostCamp at Schaeffler Digital Solutions GmbH. There, the participants were able to put their newly acquired skills into practice by visiting a training company. The global automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler is conducting this training initiative together with the international hardware and software manufacturer Microsoft and with Helliwood, a division of the association for youth and social work. Further campaigns are planned at various Schaeffler locations in Germany.

At the end of the school tour, a BoostCamp took place on June 29th as the highlight of the campaign in Chemnitz. A selection of the students was invited to the Schaeffler Digital Solutions GmbH location in Chemnitz. The subsidiary of the Schaeffler Group currently employs around 60 people and develops and integrates web-based software that, thanks to its high level of compatibility with existing systems, sensors and controls, can query and process all data on a wide variety of machines.

"This gave the students the opportunity to experience an IT start-up in a large company up close, to exchange ideas directly with trainees, trainers and employees, and to gain insights into practice," says Jens Hammer, Managing Director of Schaeffler Digital Solutions GmbH . Among other things, two workshops were held in which the participants gained their first programming experience and experienced agile working with Scrum using a terminal block scenario.
