Your apprenticeship in Germany

Are you interested in learning and working abroad in Germany? Are you interested in a well-rounded electrical or IT education? If you are open-minded and can easily engage with others and you want to acquire German language skills, then you have found the right place! Every year since August 2010, a group of young people from many different countries of the world have started their apprenticeship at WITRON's headquarter in Parkstein, Bavaria. In order to integrate yourself as fast as possible and to get familiar with the country and the people, you will participate in intensive German classes and spend the first weeks with a host family. At professional school, you will be supported by your German mentor. Once you have completed your apprenticeship, you will be offered a wide range of career opportunities within the WITRON Group - whether it is a job in Germany, at our service sites, or at one of our many project locations around the globe. We look forward to receiving your online application!

You will receive a subsidy for your apartment from WITRON in addition to your training allowance. In addition, once a year you will receive an allowance for the flight home paid by WITRON.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO PREPARE FOR THE TRAINING?

It is important that you get to know the company and the occupational profile before the start of your training. In any case, you should already begin to acquire a basic knowledge of German. In addition, it is important that your decision to start training in a foreign country is thought out thoroughly.

WHEN CAN I APPLY FOR THE APPRENTICESHIP?
