A new generation of firefighting professionals is stepping forward as Magirus and Iveco continue their steadfast commitment to nurturing skilled talent.
On 1 September 2025, a total of 37 young people began their careers at the Magirus GmbH and Iveco Group training site. In Ulm, Germany, 34 budding apprentices and dual students embarked on diverse career paths ranging from industrial and logistics roles to advanced technical trades.
Meanwhile, three trainees started their journey at Magirus Lohr in Austria—all motivated, ambitious, and eager to develop the competencies critical to the fire protection sector.
Their journey began with an immersive introductory week designed to promote orientation, team cohesion, and corporate values. Practical training insights, group workshops, and engaging lectures provided a comprehensive launch into life at a leading industrial firm.
In Austria, the first day featured a warm welcome and a parent information session to ensure clarity and transparency from the outset.
At Ulm, the cohort includes trainees in a range of technical and commercial roles: industrial clerk, warehouse logistics specialist, construction mechanic, vehicle painter, industrial mechanic, electronics technician for industrial systems, and KfZ‑mechatronics technician specialising in systems and high‑voltage technology.
Additionally, five dual‑track students—including those enrolled in the notable “Ulm model” automotive engineering programme—are part of the 2025 intake.
Magirus’s emphasis on practical, integrated training and its longstanding legacy—dating back to firefighting innovations of the 19th century—ensure that apprentices gain deep industry knowledge in supportive, hands-on environments.
With 141 trainees across all classes, the company solidifies its role in strengthening the skilled workforce and fostering the sustainable success of the fire protection industry.
