Two Young Gardeners Blossom in Gladbeck
Marvin Hohmann, a 22-year-old visionary, constructs intricate round arches and lays paving stones with precision, preparing for his final exam to become a gardener in the landscaping sector. His challenge: designing a tiny yet exquisite garden piece.
Marvin hesitated about opting for gardening as a career after graduation. He initially pursued teaching in German and sports, but soon realized it wasn't his calling. So, he chanced upon an internship at Gladbeck's Central Operations Yard (ZBG), where he discovered a love for physical labor. This led him to decide to do an apprenticeship.
Marvin's tasks at ZBG range from maintaining municipal parks and playgrounds to designing new facilities. Julia Schneider, who oversees apprentices at ZBG, aims to instill a knack for new garden and park designs in the young trainees, increasing their employability. They also attend lessons in Münster to learn about handling plant protection products.
For post-apprenticeship plans, Marvin plans to undertake additional training to become a technician, which requires a year of professional experience. With this qualification, he can develop new facilities, write proposals, and self-train.
ZBG's Hidden Pathway
"I hadn't even considered that ZBG offered apprenticeships," confessed Julia Kulmer, who's doing a voluntary ecological year there. After recognizing Julia's impressive manual skills, Julia will start an apprenticeship as a gardener in August. ZBG's apprenticeships are surprisingly lesser-known to the youth.
Julia enjoys being in the great outdoors and working with machinery. Jan Schneider encourages her to leverage her skills, operating heavy machinery like excavators and wheel loaders. Not every voluntary worker at ZBG gets the chance to work with machinery.
