Every year a new tradition is cultivated: The Wortmann Group sends its trainees to the Prüf- und Forschungsinstitut Pirmasens e.V. (PFI) for an intensive insight into the world of shoe manufacturing and testing. On 20th August, 12 young talents from Detmold took advantage of the PFI's expertise to deepen their knowledge.
During their visit, the trainees were given a comprehensive overview of the complex processes involved in shoe production. The participants visited the physical and chemical laboratory, where they learnt about the various aspects of shoe testing. They also had the opportunity to visit the International Shoe Competence Centre (ISC) to gain an insight into the technologies and processes involved in footwear production.
As a central contact point for training in the footwear industry, the PFI makes a valuable contribution to securing the next generation of skilled workers. The transfer of theoretical knowledge and practical experience forms the basis for a successful career in the industry.
