"What am I taking with me from Germany? The best Häring could give me: my career."

Profile

FROM THE SCHOOL DESK TO THE INTERNATIONAL CAREER LADDER

Amanda joined Häring in Bubsheim as a trainee in 2015. The young American from Georgia had been studying diesel mechanics after a few small jobs when her school introduced her to a career opportunity at Häring. International career opportunities with time abroad are rare in the U.S., so she jumped at the chance. In the mechanics department, Amanda worked on innovative solutions, but over time, she discovered her true passion: training and developing others.

After completing her three-year trainee program at Häring’s German headquarters, Amanda now leads the training and development of trainees and apprentices at the Haering Academy.

My work

"When I came to Germany, I was responsible for machines in the production. I had to react quickly and flexibly to any problems or unexpected issues, often dealing with challenges I hadn´t anticipated. Today, I can put that knowledge and experience to use by training new trainees, preparing them to eventually take on leadership roles at their home locations.”

My time as a trainee

"Häring uses the latest machines, so my first step was learning programming. I also had German lessons every week during work and every other Saturday at Häring. Of course, there was plenty of time to explore Germany, travel Europe, and take in the sights!"

My experience

"What I love about Häring is how personal everything is. We even have dinners with company leadership, and the relationship with all our supervisors feels really close, almost like family. My time in Germany has been truly special."

OUR US LOCATION

"There’s still a lot to do at our American site. We need to keep building it up and make sure production runs smoothly. I’m excited to be part of that by training the new trainees. Everything I know for my job, I learned during my time at Häring in Germany, and now I get to pass that knowledge on so the trainees will be ready to take on key roles on their own in a few years.

I’ve learned that good things don’t come from doing nothing. You have to work hard and earn everything — that’s exactly what I did to reach my current role while working in Germany.”
