Trainees to become electrical engineering assistants (ETA) develop their own circuit board layout at ILFA

Training to become an electrotechnical assistant is a two-year, initial vocational training programme that is conducted at a vocational school and includes a four-week internship. Our two trainees Johanna and Nikola attend the Berufsbildende Schule Metalltechnik – Elektrotechnik (bbs-me) of the Hanover region for the training and have each secured a traineeship at ILFA. There they learn everything about the production of the printed circuit board and design their own printed circuit board layout for their project work.

ILFA offers its employees the D-Ticket Hannover Job at a reduced price

Since its introduction in May 2023, ILFA has also been offering its employees the D-Ticket Hannover Job, which can be used in combination for the daily commute but also for journeys throughout Germany. The special feature here: ILFA pays an employer subsidy of €12.25 and thus bears around 25% of the costs per ticket. A further subsidy from the GVH and the Hannover Region means that the employee only has to pay €30.40 per month – making the D-Ticket Hannover Job significantly cheaper than the previous regular job ticket.

ILFA Kirchheimbolanden branch celebrates together at the 71st Residence Festival

The employees of ILFA’s Kirchheimbolanden branch did not want to miss out on this festivity and celebrated there with colleagues from TCLAD Europe and Brain4PCB.

Getting a taste of different professions – ILFA takes part in “Internship Week”

5 days, 5 professions, 5 companies – this is the motto of the “Internship Week”, which is offered at the beginning of the summer holidays in about 100 regions in Germany. Pupils can register free of charge, select their desired occupational fields and are then suggested companies from their region that offer corresponding internships. We also took part as the organising company and were able to offer 3 young people an insight into the typical fields of activity at ILFA.

ILFA takes part in the B2Run company run 2023

Last year we had already decided to take part in the B2Run company run in Hanover. The fun was simply too great for us to miss out on the event. With around 11,500 runners from numerous companies and businesses in the Hanover area, the number of participants was even greater than last year. So it was back to the north shore of the Maschsee for us, where the 6.5 km run began for our ILFA runners.

Final exams passed: ILFA trainees convince with super performances

In mid-June, the time had come: After two years of training and having already passed the written exams, our two apprentices in the training occupation “machine and plant operator with focus on metal and plastics technology” also passed their final oral exams: Both with the grade A! Of course, we are justifiably proud of both of them and congratulate them on their successful entry into professional life.
