- Number of people in the company’s educational programs in Germany grows 15 percent: more than 1,500 apprentices and participants in work-study programs to start their careers at Siemens in 2023
- Almost all apprenticeships and work-study positions on offer focus on jobs in technical areas, including IT
- Siemens and FAU are cooperating for a new English-language master’s program in sustainability management
More than 1,500 apprentices and participants in work-study programs in Germany will start their careers at Siemens on September 1. Despite the scarcity of applicants in the country’s apprenticeship market, this number has significantly increased compared to the previous year (2022: 1,300; 15 percent increase). For a while now, there has been an imbalance between supply and demand on Germany’s apprenticeship market: At the start of August, more than 220,000 training positions were reported as vacant. However, only around 117,000 of the country’s young people are currently looking for an apprenticeship.
- Presentation of framework agreement with Siemens
Mobility worth €400 Million for further ETCS expansion
- ETCS enables shorter headways and greater reliability
Siemens
Mobility and ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) are digitizing the Austrian rail
network to further enhance the attractiveness of public transport. ÖBB is aiming
to double the capacity of Austria’s entire rail system by 2040 to cope with
increasing passenger numbers. This goal is now a bit closer: The most modern
technology for railway operations – the digital European Train Control System ETCS – has now been implemented and commissioned on the 57-kilometer route
between Linz and Vöcklabruck. The system controls distances between trains, as
well as their direction and speed in real time. This enables the route to carry
more passengers and freight, and ensures that the trains run more reliably,
punctually, and safely.

- Monitoring of all 3-phase grids from 200 V to 690 V nominal voltage
- Frequency monitoring from 15-70 Hz for more detailed information
- IO-Link enables transmission and evaluation of measured values in the
controller or higher-level systems
- Certification according to SIL 1 (IEC 62061) and PL c (EN ISO 13849-1)
standards for a wide range of applications
Siemens has launched a new generation of line monitoring relays. The SIRIUS 3UG5 line monitoring relays combine proven technology with new functions and applications. The relays are the easiest way to monitor standards-compliant grid stability and quality, ensuring proper system operation and a long service life of components such as motors or compressors. Grid monitoring relays are used in critical areas such as hospitals or the process industry, which require a high-quality, fail-safe supply of power. Other areas of application include cranes, elevators, air, and air-conditioning compressors, as well as the timber industry.
