Description
Enercon, a German manufacturer of wind power engines, is creating 600 new positions at the subsidiary Kunsttechnologie Aurich (KTA). The new staff is expected to be employed in the lamination of wind power blades. Since Enercon is willing to employ long-term unemployed persons, the local Federal Employment Agency has set up tailor-made training classes (€ 3,500 per person) to run in 2012 and 2013 as a support measure.
