KATMA CLEANCONTROL IS COMMITTED TO THE PROWI GT MINT FUND

WHAT IS THE MINT FUND?

The "Promoting STEM for children and young people!" fund aims to give schoolchildren practical experience in the fields of mathematics, IT, science and technology. This is the only way we can get young people interested in these important future topics at an early age and prepare them for the careers of tomorrow.

As a company from the Gütersloh district, we also play our part in promoting STEM subjects. We provide an annual contribution of €500, which can be used to design diverse and realistic teaching content. These go beyond the regular curriculum and provide pupils with practical experience and insights into the world of work.

But that's not all: the fund is also used to purchase educational materials that can be used again and again in lessons or study groups. In this way, exciting and educational experiences are made possible in the long term and interest in STEM topics is awakened in the long term. This was also the case at the last MINT.gestalten competition, where Lukas and Mattis (pictured above) won the sustainability prize with their solution for KATMA CleanControl. They designed an automated reporting system for our customers that allows them to monitor their resource savings live.

THE MINT FUND SUPPORTS CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE - COMPANIES BENEFIT

We are delighted that our new apprentice will also be taking part in this year's STEM Participation Day on 18.11.2023. Because at KATMA CleanControl, it is important to us that our employees can continue to develop, especially in the STEM fields.

One example of how STEM fund resources can be used is the "robotics club" at a school in the Gütersloh district. Here, pupils learn how to program a robot and bring it to life. This not only encourages creativity and logical thinking, but also gives young people valuable insights into the world of technology. The "Renewable energies" project is also very interesting. Here, pupils were able to build and install a solar system themselves as part of a class project. This not only promotes an understanding of alternative energies, but also gives young people the opportunity to get active and experiment themselves.

Companies can also use more energy-efficient packaging materials to reduce the energy required for shipping. In addition, companies can use intelligent warehouse management techniques to reduce the number of tours, which in turn reduces fuel consumption. Finally, companies can use innovative technologies to optimize their logistics processes and thus reduce energy costs.

But it's not just the pupils who benefit from this project. The companies that participate also have an advantage. By getting involved in the MINT Fund, they can shape the skilled workers of tomorrow at an early stage and recruit them for their own companies. We would therefore like to encourage all companies in the Gütersloh district to also participate in the MINT Fund. Because only through a joint effort can we get the next generation interested in STEM subjects and secure a successful future in this field.

THE KATMA-MINT-CLUB

Overall, the promotion of STEM subjects is an important issue that we at KATMA CleanControl are happy to support. After all, this is the only way we can work together to inspire and shape the specialists of tomorrow for STEM subjects at an early stage. We are proud to be socially committed and to make a contribution to promoting education. We are also pleased to announce that we at KATMA want to get children and young people interested in programming, for example, in the near future with our KATMA-MINT-CLUB. We work together with experienced mentors in a playful and meaningful way. Participation is of course completely free of charge! Registration will be possible shortly. If you can't wait, feel free to apply for a short internship at any time! Please use our contact form, send us an e-mail or simply give us a call. We look forward to seeing you!
