What does a typical trainee program look like?

The program usually take 24 months. The following are integral parts of the programme:

  • Intensive introductory weeks to get to know the company and all its operations.
  • Programme with longer stints in departments to which your future job has an internal customer or supplier relationship.
  • Information events to become familiar with the corporation.
  • Events to promote networking between the interns (i.e. visits to external customers).
  • Seminars and training courses to prepare for technical and management roles.
  • Intensive preparation in the area you'll be working in later on (e.g. production, maintenance, quality control, marketing, sales or controlling).

As an intern you'll be trying out and improving your skills in practice. Qualified seminars and training courses will help you to develop your social and communication skills. By talking to your mentor and other interns you'll be focusing on the future - your own and Salzgitter's. Together with us.
