Employers have to find something to attract the most motivated young people
SPAR CEO’su KR Hans K. Reisch “In addition to the outstanding social advantages, the family working environment and the many opportunities opened up in a retail group that is successful beyond the borders of Austria also speak in SPAR’s favor as an employer,” he said and continued: “SPAR celebrates its 70th anniversary this year.” is celebrating – and the company has been training young people for just as long. Excellent apprenticeships with the most experienced trainers have always been an important issue for SPAR. However, due to demographic developments, there are fewer and fewer young people and it is becoming difficult to fill available apprenticeship positions. Employers therefore have to find something to attract the most motivated young people.“
Reisch: „Development potential in the family business“
SPAR CEO KR Hans K. Reisch expressed how important the apprenticeship issue is for him and his organization with the following words: „I am grateful to be able to keep our family business on the path to success with the best employees. As an apprentice, it is even more special to get to know the company really well and develop as an individual after the apprenticeship. There is so much potential for professional and personal development at SPAR, both at home and abroad. Many SPAR members have held various positions within the Group throughout their SPAR careers. This is also encouraged in SPAR.”
24 apprenticeships, endless opportunities
Where are apprenticeship opportunities available in the SPAR family? SPAR Austria is a very successful Central European company. The majority of employees work in food retailing. There are a total of 24 different apprenticeships to choose from, for example in grocery or delicatessen-focused retailing, as a system caterer at an INTERSPAR restaurant, or as an office manager at one of the six SPAR centers or at the SPAR head office. The group also offers a wide range of career opportunities at Hervis and SES Spar European Shopping Centres.
