As part of an intake of apprentices, you will also receive additional, structured development from the internal Learning & Development team and the opportunity to network with other apprentices.

We offer three-year dual curriculums at our Head Office in Duisburg with a focus on sales, purchasing or controlling.

In the three-month practical phases, you will go through all the key areas of the Head Office: Purchasing, Sales, Customers, Vendors and Personnel. During the theory phases, which also last three months each, you will study three days a week at the university. We support a foreign exchange semester, also financially.

Enrolled Bachelor or Master student
Good command of English
Very good knowledge of MS Office
Motivation, customer focus and socialbility

Graduates & Young professionals

Change is our everyday life, digitalisation creates new and exciting areas of activity. You have your bachelor's or master's degree and are looking for a direct entry after graduation? We will find the perfect entry into your professional life with you: become a Value Adder, quite individually. We offer junior positions in the areas of Sales, Controlling, Internal Audit, Human Resources, Logistics or Purchasing.
