| Commissioner Verheugen visits Metallbau Windeck European Commission Vice–President Günter Verheugen, responsible for enterprise and industry, will go next week to Brandenburg in Germany in support of the trainee programme Enterprise Experience. For two days he will be visiting Metallbau Windeck, that produces metal equipment for houses and buildings. In Brandenburg he will be meeting with workers, apprentices and managers, as well as other local entrepreneurs. Apart from that Mr. Verheugen at the 5th and 6th of March will get hands on experience in the company of about a hundred employees and will be taught about the operation of Computerized Numerical Control (CNC) machinery and the work at Windeck's building sites, where it installs balconies, staircases and window frames. The Enterprise Experience is aimed at 350 top officials of the European Commission's Directorate General for Enterprise, to give them a better insight in the problems that Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SME's) face. Vice President Verheugen launched the Enterprise Experience in July 2006 and now goes out to show his active support, after a first group of fifty trainees has already come back enthusiastically from their visits to companies all across the European Union. The Enterprise Experience started in October 2006 and the aims is that by 2009 all of 350 administrators in DG Enterprise will spend about a week in a company, shadowing key personnel and experiencing the different functions or departments to gain hands on experience of their problems. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Construction News :: home page |
