WHAT IS STEULER GROWTH?

GROWING TOGETHER

The internal talent development programme "Steuler Growth" is the enhanced version of our "Nachwuchsförderprogramm – NFP" (junior talent programme) and is aimed at Steuler Group employees who want to bring special motivation and commitment to their day-to-day work.­­

Do you want to take on more responsibility in the future and are you one of the real doers?

The program is a collaboration between our own business coach Andreas Adams and Sabrina Arnold from ifsm - Institut für Sales & Managementberatung. They provide you with key skills for your everyday professional life and prepare you for demanding tasks within our company.

We want you not just to arrive, but above all, to get ahead together with us.

WHAT VALUE DO I GET FROM TAKING PART?

Imagine you could not only advance your own development, but also positively influence the future of the people around you. That is exactly the goal of "Steuler Growth" – a programme that not only gives you the tools for your personal development, but also helps you broaden your mindset and gain new perspectives.

When you take part in "Steuler Growth", numerous opportunities open up for you. You have better chances of taking on a more responsible position within the company and strengthen your skills to prepare for taking on even more responsibility in the future.­­­

Part of the programme involves founding a social enterprise. As a genuine entrepreneur, you get to know every facet of running a company and have a lasting impact on your environment, the community and people in the region. This opens up new opportunities here on the ground to tackle social challenges together in an interdisciplinary team. 

"Steuler Growth" is your opportunity to combine professional growth with personal impact and to take responsibility for the world around you. Become part of "Steuler Growth" and use your talents to help yourself and others move forward in a way that leaves a lasting impression.

Further information

What content is covered in the programme?

Depending on the module, the content is delivered by ifsm. Throughout the entire programme, you will be supported by managers from our company.

Content includes:

  • Self-perception and perception by others
  • Communication and conflict management
  • Self-management and resilience training
  • 1:1 coaching
  • Founding a social enterprise in cooperation with Bookbridge

The program lasts 9 months and includes 19 scheduled training sessions, most of which take place during work hours. The additional time commitment cannot be precisely estimated in advance, as it varies from person to person.

During the startup phase of the social enterprise (late April through late August), you should expect to spend about 1–3 hours per week, depending on your needs.  Most of this time should be spent during the participants’ free time. The time difference must also be taken into account here.

When do the sessions take place?

If you apply for Steuler Growth, please check whether you can attend the dates listed and note them in your calendar in advance. If you are unable to attend certain dates, please let us know.

All multi-day sessions include overnight accommodation.

Please take this into account when making your personal plans (flights are expected to be two to three days before or after the start and end of each module).

You must have a passport for this trip; please check that it is valid (at least 6 more months and 2 blank pages). If you do not have a passport, you must apply for one as soon as possible.

Once your participation is confirmed, we will contact you regarding your flight, visa and vaccinations.

We will also book overnight accommodations here for the modules for employees based in the Westwood. We ask that you not return home each day so that you do not come into contact with day-to-day business operations and can fully immerse yourself in the training.
