PI 112 – March 2013 – Learn what the practice brings –

Germering, March 25, 2013.

Last year, companies and organizations with over 9500 events and venues for more than 115800 girls contributed to making Girls‘ Day – the future day for girls – once again a complete success. The GeBE Elektronik und Feinwerktechnik GmbH was also involved.

This year, for the twelfth time in a row, students aged about 15 can experience „technical vocational air“ at the Germering company. During this time, they will build an electronic circuit, stand on the lathe themselves, and program a C+C machine.

As a family-run business with around 60 employees, GeBE belongs to the medium-sized business sector and employs, among others, electronic engineers and industrial electronics technicians.

Expanding the range of career choices

Most girls and young women do not fully exploit their options when choosing a career, as they usually rely on a reduced range of apprenticeship positions. They rarely even consider professions in the fields of technology or the natural sciences. However, more and more girls want to broaden their choice of options. To do this, they want to know what lies behind the technical job titles in practice. On April 25, 2013, with this year’s Girls‘ Day, they will have the opportunity to experience this first-hand. There they will also meet women who work in such professions.

Students in electronics and precision engineering have already completed practical semesters at GeBE Electronics and Precision Engineering GmbH, and some diploma theses have already been written and supervised at GeBE. The company offers training programs for industrial electronics engineers for devices and systems as well as for machine and plant operators and would like to employ more women in these fields.
