Kurtz Ersa Hammer Academy

Kurtz Ersa HAMMER ACADEMY opens

After a test run of 100 days, the Kurtz Ersa Hammer Academy was officially opened on 25 February, 2016. Many guests accepted the invitation to the Eisenhammer – where the success story of the owner-run family company began 237 years ago. 

With the slogan “... daring to strive for more”, the Hammer Academy is an education platform aimed at ensuring that staff remain fit to face global competition in the future, too. “We are proud to be able to officially open this new important element of our vocational education and training here today,” said Kurtz Ersa CEO Rainer Kurtz in his opening speech.

 

Comprehensive further education package

With over 70 instructors, 109 courses and 200 dates planned annually, Kurtz Ersa has put together an impressive further education package. Under the virtual umbrella of the Hammer Academy, the extensive education and training programme has been consoli-dated to include internships, 14 apprentice-ship courses and seven dual courses of studies as well as offers for families, health and sport. New elements such as language courses, structuring skills and management competence, professional training courses and customer training events (particle foam processing, soldering seminars, foundry techniques) have also been added. The education platform is completed by an 18-month Trainee Programme, which allows graduates to further boost their careers – or to qualify as “Hammer Experts”, a three-year course with which Kurtz Ersa intensively prepares its executives for future responsibilities.

The Kurtz Ersa Corporate Division Human Resources is responsible for the entire organisation with all the threads converging at the desk of HR manager and “Chancellor” Verena Alina Bartschat. Kurtz Ersa makes premises available for all the events, covers the instructors’ fees and generally gives staff time off – with the exception of yoga, the running club or language courses, which take place outside of work hours. The Hammer Academy is a genuine milestone for Kurtz Ersa – and a giant step towards the future. Further steps are to follow, such as the constant expansion of the training programme or the closer integration of the customer into the courses. Good luck, Hammer Academy!
