As an internationally positioned family-run corporate group, we run apprenticeships to meet our own staffing needs. For you, this means: excellent chances of being taken on and optimum development opportunities – from IT training courses in Word, Excel and PowerPoint in our own training centre at Schloss Benkhausen to English courses and business etiquette seminars. Seminars and driver safety training. In addition, you also have the possibility to be deployed for several weeks to one or more of our other business locations – either in Germany or internationally. And thanks to our flexitime system, reconciling the 39-hour week including study release times with your leisure time is not a problem.

You’ll find a detailed description of your tasks in the respective job advertisement. As a general rule, each training course includes a theoretical and a practical part. You acquire the practical know-how at your place of work, while the theory is taught at vocational school – either two days a week or on block release, depending on the chosen apprenticeship.

The best way is to apply online using the APPLY DIRECTLY button in the JOB VACANCIES section. This is more environmentally friendly and also cheaper for you – and guarantees that your application lands on the right desk.

In order for us to be able to make a first impression of you, we want you to send a current CV in table format, a brief cover letter as well as your two most recent school reports. If we are then still missing something, we will contact you.

Your CV should of course be error-free, well-structured and clearly formulated. It must also contain the following information:

• Your full contact details (name, address, telephone number and an e-mail address)
• Details of your education to date
• Work placements that you have completed (also one-day work placements)
• Your hobbies

To ensure that your documents are displayed properly in our application management system, please send them in PDF format only (max. 25 MB).
