No fewer than 19 apprentices started their professional lives at the Nürburgring on time on 1 August. Whether at the operating company of the Nürburgring or in the Nürburgring Hotels and Holiday Park operated by Lindner: The apprenticeship professions are as diverse as the destination itself. They range from cooks to hotel and event managers to dual students. Together with their new colleagues, 37 young people are currently undergoing training at the Nürburgring. 

The first working day at the Nürburgring was crowned for the newcomers with an appointment at a historic location: the new trainees positioned themselves on the legendary Grand Prix circuit for a group photo. For many, this was an exciting moment, because having the empty start and finish straight to oneself is something that only few people get. Accordingly, in addition to the official photo session, the obligatory selfie is of course not to be missed. "I'm glad that my apprenticeship is finally starting," says a delighted 19-year-old Ella, who is now learning the profession of event manager at Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG. "I've already been on site a few times as a visitor, but now I get to be actively involved behind the scenes. I'm very excited about that."

She is rightly looking forward to the tasks, because there will definitely be no boredom at the Ring. The circuit is fully booked every day from March to mid-November - whether it's for the 50 or so public events at the weekend or for the many driving training sessions, vehicle tests or tourist drives. In addition, there are several large and small events off the tarmac - such as trade fairs, product presentations or other company events.

To ensure that the participants and visitors of such events always sleep and are fed in the best possible way, Paul starts his career as a restaurant and event specialist at the Nürburgring Hotels & Ferienparks operated by Lindner. "The uniqueness of the Nürburgring, the international visitors and the high quality of the accommodation on offer made me decide to start here. I am looking forward to the guests from all over the world and to the big events such as Rock am Ring," says the 18-year-old.

In order to give all job starters a good start and, above all, a perfect overview of the diverse event and experience destination Nürburgring with all its facets, the trainees first start with two training weeks. In addition to the presentation of the various Nürburgring companies and lectures by the departments, there is also a visit to the Nürburgring.
