Eight Umicore Apprentices Celebrate Successful Graduation – Three with Top Marks

Last Friday, eight young talents celebrated the successful completion of their apprenticeships at Umicore. Remarkably, all apprentices took their final exams ahead of schedule, underscoring their commitment, professional competence, and the high quality of the company’s training program.

This year’s graduates are evenly split between the professions of chemical technician and chemical laboratory technician. Three of the apprentices completed their exams with the top grade of 1 and received a small gold bar from Umicore as special recognition for their outstanding achievement. The remaining five apprentices also achieved excellent results. Together, the group reached an impressive average final grade of 1.75.

Umicore is retaining six of the eight apprentices, while two have chosen to pursue their careers outside of Umicore.

“Our graduates have impressively demonstrated their dedication and determination. Their success is also a strong testament to the quality and future-readiness of our apprenticeship program. We are delighted that many of them will continue their journey with Umicore and remain part of our team.”

Sandra Müller, Apprenticeship Coordinator at Umicore.

Umicore has long been committed to practical and future-oriented apprenticeships. The combination of solid professional qualifications and the opportunity to contribute to innovative projects prepares young professionals optimally for the demands of their future careers.
