About Us

The Pleiger Berufsausbildungsgesellschaft (PAG) was founded in 2005. It is part of the corporate network of the Pleiger Group, which operates internationally and has its headquarters in Witten.

On September 16, 2005, PAG was officially inaugurated by the then Minister of Labor, Health and Social Affairs, Mr. Karl-Josef Laumann.
On this occasion, PAG was awarded the certificate for qualified vocational training by the Bochum Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK).
In addition, in November 2005, PAG received one of the rare certificates for promoting young talent in the Hagen chamber district from the Federal Employment Agency.

Vocational training has a decades-long tradition in the Pleiger Group. It was formerly carried out by Paul Pleiger Maschinenfabrik and most recently by four companies of the Pleiger Group, namely in the occupations of industrial clerk, industrial mechanic, and foundry mechanic.

Due to the increasing number of Pleiger companies and the wide product range, it became necessary to reorganize vocational training within the Pleiger Group.

Through PAG, the Pleiger Group is now able to offer qualified training in eleven occupational profiles.

– Electronics technician for automation technology (m/f/d)
– Electronics technician for industrial engineering (m/f/d)
– Electronics technician for devices and systems (m/f/d)
– IT specialist specializing in system integration (m/f/d)
– IT specialist specializing in application development (m/f/d)
– Foundry mechanic (m/f/d)
– Industrial clerk (m/f/d)
– Industrial mechanic (m/f/d)
– Plastics and rubber technologist
– Machine and plant operator (m/f/d)
– Mechatronics technician (m/f/d)
– Technical product designer (m/f/d)
– Joiner / Carpenter (m/f/d)
– Cutting machine operator (m/f/d)

Three instructors teach the trainees the basic knowledge and skills of their professions. Through cooperation with the Pleiger Group, trainees are supervised and instructed in practice by additional part-time trainers in the required abilities and skills of the respective specialized departments in accordance with the training regulations.

This training offer is also available to other companies that are unable to provide training themselves or cannot cover all parts of a training program in-house and therefore rely on a partnership.
