In 2018 Repower was awarded the “Great Place to Start” label as one of the best Swiss companies to do an apprenticeship. This result was thanks to the responses of Repower’s apprentices themselves in a survey conducted by the workplace culture experts at A Great Place to Work: 96 per cent of Repower apprentices said that overall Repower was an excellent place to train. In addition to their responses, the evaluation took account of Repower’s training concept and policy. The Great Place to Start label was first awarded in 2017, and since 2018 has been a firm feature of the Great Place to Work Switzerland portfolio of labels.

Repower is proud of this award, which shows that young people feel well at Repower:

“Motivated people are the key to the success of any business venture. It’s particularly important to have motivated young people: they’re our most precious asset.”

repower develops potential

In May 2018 a new advertising campaign for apprenticeships was launched with the slogan “We help you fulfil your potential”. The campaign revolved around the characters of famous mathematical, musical and scientific geniuses played by five Repower apprentices. Among other things the campaign included posters, print ads, advertorials and screen features in public transport raising awareness of information events held in June 2018. The campaign was a great success and will be continued in 2019.

An apprenticeship at Repower comes with many benefits:

“I love working for Repower: every morning I leave for work in a good mood because I know my teammates will guide and support me. My trainers are always very patient and professional, and give me enough time to get to know new topics and explore them in more depth.”
