Every year the DLG e.V. (Deutsche Landwirtschafts-Gesellschaft – German Agricultural Society) offers a management programme for trainees in the agricultural sector. The goal is to prepare young professionals such as farm successors, young operating managers and junior staff in the agricultural business for future professional challenges during nine months by means of seminars and practical trainings in demanding projects.


Up to now, LOHMANN TIERZUCHT supported the DLG by providing traineeships. The trainees are working in smaller projects in defined fields, e.g. genetics, during their two times 12 weeks of practical training. These projects allow the trainees to gather professional experience and demonstrate their performance.

Last year, a future employee of LOHMANN TIERZUCHT, Ms. Djanet Ould-Ali, participated for the first time in the programme as part of the company’s long-term human resources planning and development. In this way, LOHMANN TIERZUCHT fosters further training of its own young employees in order to prepare them for new tasks and areas of responsibility within the company. Additionally, the future employees are prepared in a comprehensive manner for a qualified start in the company.

The trainee year 2011/2012 consisting of 19 participants including Ms. Ould-Ali started on 29th of August 2011 in Grünberg near Gießen, Germany. During the seminar weeks the trainees dealt with subjects such as management training, questions of law and business administration. They proved their acquired skills in two practical trainings in different companies. The final colloquium took place in May 2012.
