Fits, wobbles and has air - sweat for the track! Trainee Burcu toils away
They are trainees + they love their job. What will they expect on the construction sites this time? Often the trainees outgrow themselves, sometimes everything goes wrong. Fortunately, their instructors, the foremen + journeymen, are closely by their side. And their friends and all the family members cheer them on, too. Burcu needs more muscles Four tradesmen apprentices become automotive mechatronics technicians, track builders, carpenters + painters. Ramazan, 18, has been taking his toy car apart since he was a small child. Later, he enthusiastically screwed on his relatives' cars. Now Ramazan wants to turn his hobby into a profession. He is starting his training as an automotive mechatronics technician. But will the hobby mechanic make it to the professional level? Today Ramazan is to change spark plugs. Boss Joachim and master craftsman Marco have to keep putting the brakes on his zeal.
Burcu, 19, is at the beginning of her training as a track worker. How self-confident she already is as the first woman in the company makes instructor Jürgen proud. Burcu wants to show that this profession is not just a man's job. Her big dream is to become a site manager. Then she would be in charge on the construction sites. But until that happens, Burcu has to do extremely heavy work on the tracks. Today, she toils with a "soft-face hammer. Is her muscle strength enough? Linus, 21, lives with his dog Voskay and many other animals on his parents' farm in the middle of the beautiful Sauerland region. Move away from here? Unthinkable! Luckily, Linus was able to start his apprenticeship as a carpenter nearby. Journeyman Noah is always by his side. Privately, the two have known each other since their school days.
Even back then, arithmetic wasn't Linus' strong point. And that really gets on Noah's nerves when Linus stumbles while measuring. Michael, 18, has only been a trainee painter for a few weeks. As a child, he gave his all in gymnastics. Today, journeyman Klaus spurs him on to give his best. Michael has to prove himself right away + is first to remove the old wallpaper from a wall at a private customer's home. For this task, the young apprentice needs nerves of steel. Because complaining doesn't work with the experienced Klaus.
