What tasks do industrial mechanics perform? And what opportunities does a medical technology training company offer young people as they begin their careers?
Students found answers to these questions during the BOGY work-experience week and Girls’ Day 2026 at Sutter Medizintechnik GmbH in Emmendingen.
At the company’s Training Workshop 2.0, they were able to experience technology firsthand, gain their first practical experience, and develop a realistic understanding of technical professions.
Record Week for Young Talent Development at Sutter
As part of the BOGY work-experience week and Girls’ Day 2026, Sutter Medizintechnik GmbH opened its Training Workshop 2.0 to an exceptionally high number of interested students.
Throughout the entire week, the training workshop was in continuous operation. Participants had the opportunity to get to know various machines, observe work processes, and take on practical tasks themselves. They were supported by apprentices and members of the training team, who provided insights into their daily work and answered questions firsthand.
The strong response highlights the continued interest of young people in technical careers when companies offer early, transparent, and hands-on insights into the working world.
How Future Industrial Mechanics Learn at Sutter
The activities and insights provided during the BOGY work-experience week and Girls’ Day reflect Sutter’s overall training approach.
At the heart of the program is learning through hands-on experience. Apprentices work with modern machinery from an early stage and learn to understand technical processes in an industrial environment. At the same time, teamwork plays a key role, as many tasks require close collaboration with colleagues from production and manufacturing.
This approach gives young people a realistic impression of what vocational technical training looks like in a medium-sized medical technology company.
Girls’ Day Inspires Interest in Technical and STEM Careers
A special focus of the week was Girls’ Day 2026, an initiative designed to give young women practical insights into technical and scientific career fields.
Four participants took the opportunity to explore machinery, try out technical tasks, and gain firsthand experience in a production environment. Such experiences can help break down existing barriers and raise awareness of career paths that are often presented only in theory during school education.
In this way, Girls’ Day makes an important contribution to promoting diversity and equal opportunities in technical professions.
Why Career Orientation Matters for the Future
For Sutter, vocational training is a key element of sustainable talent development. As a training company based in Emmendingen, Sutter sees early career orientation as an important foundation for developing the skilled professionals of tomorrow.
BOGY internships and Girls’ Day provide young people with the opportunity not only to learn about different professions, but also to experience them firsthand. This direct exposure to practical work helps students discover their interests and make informed decisions about their future education and career paths.
The record participation in 2026 demonstrates the strong interest in technical careers when companies open their doors and offer authentic insights into everyday working life.
Experience Technology, Shape the Future
The BOGY work-experience week and Girls’ Day 2026 have clearly demonstrated the value of hands-on career orientation. With its Training Workshop 2.0, Sutter provides a place where young people can discover technical professions, gain practical experience, and develop a realistic understanding of modern apprenticeship opportunities. By opening its doors to students and encouraging active participation, Sutter helps bridge the gap between classroom learning and the world of work, inspiring the next generation of skilled professionals to explore their potential in technical careers.
