University graduates who want to join a trainee programme to launch their professional careers are often spoilt for choice. At least in theory, but things often look different in practice. This is because many programmes only offer limited opportunities for professional development, lack exciting challenges and structured supervision or the chance to take on responsibility at an early stage. This was not the case for Lisa Sauerzapf: The young engineer started out as a trainee at thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe and has never looked back—quite the opposite.

Educator, decision-maker, or beginner: when we hear terms like these, our minds often form - too hastily - approximate images of the people they refer to. But these images often turn out to be wrong. Who says that beginners always have to be young? Or that educators are mostly female? For us at thyssenkrupp, one thing is clear: Stereotypes have no place here! That's why we openly address stereotypes, refute them, and promote diversity among our #GENERATIONTK employees. Because it's what moves them that counts for us - not what others think about them.
