New mayor greets 31 novice students and apprentices at the "Azubi Fit-Day" event
In the vibrant city of Willich, Germany, the first day of "Introduction Days" for the new trainees, interns, and apprentices was marked by an exciting "Apprentice Fitness Day" at the Moenchengladbach Sports Park.
The day was filled with workshops showcasing the latest fitness trends, including trampoline hall, padel, athletic training, "Inbody," and more. The event also included information sessions on healthy eating, aimed at setting the newcomers on a path towards a balanced lifestyle.
The city of Willich, in partnership with the Central Services department, organised this event, which was financially supported by the Barmer Health Insurance Fund.
Mayor Christian Pakusch personally welcomed each newcomer with a handshake, extending a warm welcome to the city team. The newcomers were also introduced to various important committees and contact persons, including the Head of the Personnel Department.
In addition to the fitness activities, the newcomers received training on occupational health management, fire protection, and occupational safety.
