Education and Professional Development
Forward-looking, requirements-based education,
continuous training and internal advancement
opportunities and paths are pillars of Porsche’s
human resources policy. In light of this, Porsche
offers a comprehensive programme ranging
from vocational education to development
programmes for senior executives.
Porsche’s wide array of vocational and profes-
sional training programmes encompass a total of
ten qualified careers in technical and business
subject areas, as well as seven courses of study
in partnership with Baden-Württemberg Cooper-
ative State University (DHBW). The past financial
year saw a total of 150 young people begin their
training in the various careers and courses of
study on offer at Porsche AG. The new training
centre, which opened in September, is state-
of-the-art in the industry.
Porsche supports its current employees at all
levels and over all career stages in developing
and enhancing their skills, both for current and
future or additional tasks. The focus of “Porsche
Warm-Up” is on training from day one and on
quickly establishing a cross-departmental
network. All new employees gain a comprehen-
sive overview of Porsche as a company and
learn about the work performed by the different
departments in the two-day orientation event.
The Porsche Trainee Programme opened its
doors to graduates in November 2015 for the
second time ever. The 12-month programme
gives participants the opportunity to complete
a number of projects and practical assignments
in Germany and abroad.
In cooperation with Production, two new pilot
development programmes were launched in
financial year 2015 as part of the integration of
department-specific requirements into Porsche’s
development paths. The aim is to foster ongoing
personal and professional development and
tosystematically prepare employees to take
onadditional tasks.
The roll-out of the international Porsche
Advanced Management Programme in the year
under review boosted the quality of the training
options available to senior executives in the
Porsche Group. The programme was developed
in Weissach. A new drivetrain testing facility
is
being built to meet the demand for current and
future drivetrain and engine development, and
there are also plans to extend the motorsport area.
Employer Appeal and Work with Young Talent
The foundation to ensure success in human
resources work is to position Porsche in the long
term as an attractive employer and to support
the numerous young talent initiatives.
In the reporting year, as in previous years,
Porsche occupied top spots in prestigious
employer rankings. Porsche placed third in both
the engineering and business categories in
theUniversum study. The Trendence study also
found that Porsche is among Germany’s top-
three most popular employers for engineers and
business professionals. This is also reflected
inthe number of job applications. The Porsche
Group received over 140,000 applications in
2015. This is a new record and corresponds to
an increase of around 40 percent compared
withthe previous year.
During the reporting year, Porsche continued to
pursue close cooperation with key organisations
promoting young talent such as Formula Student
Germany, the international student organisation
AIESEC, the Foundation of German Business and
Femtec. Porsche also awarded 44 scholarships
as part of the German Ministry for Education and
Research’s “Germany Scholarship” initiative and
took part in the “Porsche Automotive Campus”
(PAC) scholarship programme at Nürtingen-Geis-
lingen University in financial year 2015. In addi-
tion, a professorship for modularisation in vehicle
development was established within the vehicle
technology faculty at the Esslingen University
ofApplied Sciences in 2015 with the financial
support of Porsche.
The Ferry Porsche Prize was awarded for the
fourteenth time. Awards were presented at our
development centre in Weissach to the 251
school leavers with the best maths, physics
andtechnology grades in their year.
