Thirteen young people have started their training or dual study program at the Nürburgring, taking the first step toward an exciting career at one of Europe's most fascinating workplaces. Whether at the Nürburgring operating company or at Nürburgring Hotels & Ferienpark, the range of apprenticeships is as diverse as the opportunities available at this well-known event and leisure destination.
The new recruits gathered for their first group photo in front of the Nürburgring logo on the façade of the ring°boulevard, which is visible from afar. Located in the immediate vicinity of the start-finish straight, the boulevard hosts numerous indoor events and corporate functions every year. The lettering on the outside is a popular photo motif for many tourists and thus also provided an attractive backdrop for the new employees at the start of their professional journey.
