Herford, 14.11.2017BRAX apprentice is the best in the regionLast Thursday, as part of a ceremony in Duisburg, the Chamber of Industry and Commerce for North Rhine-Westphalia awarded the BRAX apprentice Jasmina Heitz a final grade of 1.0, making her best fashion seamstress in the region.
The 19-year-old from Melle, Lower Saxony, also completed the one-year further training at BRAX as a fashion seamstress. Over the course of two and a half years, Jasmina Heitz learned to sew jackets, blazers and sports jackets in the BRAX in-house sewing room. The fashion company provides its apprentices with a comprehensive overview of the production process of various product segments, from the cutting of laying patterns to independent sewing. “In the final examination I had to sew classic men's trousers which needed to be ready within eight hours. The theoretical part of the exam asked questions on the subject of economics, planning and production.” Jasmina Heitz is delighted about her very good exam result and adds: “I also see my future with BRAX. I am particularly pleased to be allowed back in the fashion department.” BRAX HR manager Uwe Hetberg is proud of the great performance of his trainees: “We have some really committed young people, who use every chance during their apprenticeships to expand their knowledge. This provides a good foundation for starting their careers.” -

Herford, 26.05.2017BRAX apprentice one of the best examinees at the IHK OstwestfalenThe BRAX apprentice David Weking was honoured as one of the best industrial clerks (Industriekaufleute) by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) Ostwestfahlen on 27 April 2017 during a celebration at the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum.During the two and a half year apprenticeship, the 21-year old was able to gain some in-depth insight into the business processes in a fashion company. The focal points of the training included basic work processes within the areas Collection Development, Procurement, Sales, Accounting and Marketing, which enabled him in turn to gain an overview of the process stages within various product segments, from the product idea to marketing and ultimately sale to the customer.“Even when I was still in school, I knew I wanted to learn a practical profession with a link to the real world. It was therefore important to me that my apprenticeship provided me with the ability to work creatively, analytically and above all independently. And this is exactly what my industrial clerk apprenticeship at BRAX gave me. Now that I have completed my apprenticeship, I have the chance to work as a sales assistant in the International Sales department for the operative business abroad. I am also studying for my Bachelor of Arts at the same time. Both aspects represent a significant challenge but also real motivation. It is my goal to grow and develop continually together with BRAX”, explained Weking, who was excited and really happy about his great exam results.BRAX HR manager Uwe Hetberg is proud of the great performance of all BRAX trainees: “We have some really committed young people, who use every chance during their apprenticeships to expand their knowledge. This provides a good foundation for starting their careers. We are of course also very pleased about the personal achievement of David Weking.” -
