Sustainable commitment at BIKAR: Trainees take a stand for environmental awareness

20 trainees take part in a self-organised litter collection campaign. Taking responsibility, acting sustainably and making a difference as a team – that was the aim of a litter-picking campaign recently carried out by trainees from BIKAR METALLE GmbH. The campaign took place around the company premises, along the Eder cycle path and near the Wittgenstein vocational college. It was part of an internal training project and was independently planned and organised by four trainees.

Equipped with gloves, litter pickers and rubbish bags, around 20 trainees collected carelessly discarded waste – making an active contribution to environmental protection while also sending a strong message of initiative and sustainability.

“Our apprentices have shown that training at BIKAR is about more than just acquiring knowledge – it’s also about social responsibility and personal initiative,” says Ingo Miß, Head of Training and authorised signatory at BIKAR.

Project work fosters team spirit and a sense of responsibility

The litter-picking campaign is part of a broader trainee project designed to promote independent working, teamwork and organisational skills. Trainees from different departments and year groups regularly work together in mixed teams on hands-on projects – from planning and execution to reflection.

The company deliberately allocates weekly working time for these initiatives. In dedicated meetings, trainees develop ideas, take on responsibility and actively help shape their training at BIKAR – all in line with a modern, values-based training concept.
