Sarah Horst went to secondary modern school and graduated from the Tanning School in Reutlingen. She was satisfied with the training at the vocational school and has not actively considered further training. She first learned about tanning from her best friend, who worked at Hoffmans tannery and learned that the profession of tanner indeed exists.
After secondary modern school she took an internship at Hoffmans and subsequently applied for a job at the tannery. At Hoffmans, she is active in the field of retanning. Hoffmans manufactures footwear and fine leather.
During her training period, she completed a one-week internship at SÃœDLEDER GmbH & Co. KG Wetblue- und Crustfabrikation in Rehau, where she learned about wet-end processes.

Sarah Horst is working eight hours a day according to the specifications, her career goal is to become head of a department.
Her idea related to the profession of tanner became a reality. She finds her job truly great, and especially loves working with a natural product, from which such a great end product as leather is produced.
She intends to keep working in the tanning sector. Her favorite items are her leather riding boots.

To become a tanner was the best tip my friend ever gave me."
