Head of department Sabine Schröder opened the ceremony with motivating words and proudly announced that a total of 13 prizes and 21 commendations could be awarded to the best of the year. Principal Steffen Benz joined in the congratulations and, in the words of Tina Turner, encouraged the graduates to follow their chosen path in their own personal way.
Despite the heat, relatives, company representatives and teachers applauded enthusiastically when the best graduates of the year were honored - first and foremost Jonathan Edel, who completed his training at DB Fernverkehr AG Stuttgart as a "Transport Service Specialist" with outstanding achievements and also received a special prize from the Robert-Franck-Schule sponsorship association. Cornelia Klein (ZEG Zentraleinkauf eG, Kornwestheim) was also honored as the best "Office Management Clerk", Johanna Kelessidis (Dachser Se, Kornwestheim) as the best "Forwarding and Logistics Services Clerk" and Julian Lok (XXXLutz Mann Mobilia, Ludwigsburg) as the best "Warehouse Logistics Specialist".
Over a well-earned cool drink after the certificate ceremony, the graduates toasted the school years they had survived, reminisced and talked about their future prospects. The former students then bid a confident farewell to the Robert Franck School, equipped with the necessary tools to go their own way.
