Production instead of keyboards: Our students on a practical tour

How easily can a sheet metal part be bent? How simple is it to install a rear wall system? Questions like these can only be answered by tackling the tasks hands-on. That is why, for dual-study students at HEMA, pitching in on the production floor is an essential part of the experience. Only by experiencing firsthand just how difficult it is to install a machine safety panel can one later provide customers with optimal, application-oriented advice.

Two students from our dual study program recently experienced this firsthand at our facility. Although their program already combines university theory with corporate practice, the practical component usually takes place in an office setting. On the production floor, however, they were able to see with their own eyes how our products are made and appreciate the sheer number of steps and the level of expertise involved in every detail.

It was a valuable experience for our two young colleagues. "You develop a completely new and much better understanding of the products when you witness the manufacturing process yourself," they concluded. "Seeing plans turn into real products—and observing the precision required at every stage—often teaches you more than any lecture."

We are delighted to see such dedication from our up-and-coming talent. A big thank you goes to the production team for providing fascinating insights and a great exchange of ideas!
