Logistics BusinessTrailer Specialist Joins ‘Experiencing Europe’ Initiative

Trailer specialist Schmitz Cargobull is one of eight German companies supporting the Experiencing Europe initiative, a pro-European scheme aimed to help young people.

Through its support for the scheme, Schmitz Cargobull is also promoting international internships in EU countries and aims to inspire young job-seeking adults toward a united Europe. In co-operation with DEUTZ AG in Cologne, the trailer manufacturer is offering two internships in Spain with an aim to increasing the chances for job seekers on the labour market. The participants can experience the values of European integration and gather valuable occupational experience.

From April, two young interns will be sent to the Schmitz Cargobull production facility in Zaragoza, Spain for two weeks. There, they will gain insight into the production workflows and company processes, in addition to the valuable intercultural experience.

As an internationally established company, Schmitz Cargobull considers itself an ambassador for furthering the European idea. “We are looking forward to being part of Experiencing Europe in 2018, together with so many other leading companies who also on board,” affirmed Andreas Busacker, CFO Schmitz Cargobull. “This will enable us to open new doors for young job-seeking adults and provide them with a positive European experience.”

In total, the 2018 initiative will offer more than 220 internships.
