Your apprenticeship starts with us on 1st August. On the induction day, we will inform you about all organisational matters that you will need to follow during your apprenticeship at our company. On this day you will get to know both all our apprentices and your first colleagues.
You will get involved in the day-to-day work on the following days. You will work together with different colleagues in various departments, who will pass on the content of the apprenticeship in step with actual practice and are always willing to listen to you.
At Hilscher, you will get to know all technical production departments: SMD production, assembly, final testing, test field, pre-delivery inspection, shipping, hardware development and EDP. You will also spend a few weeks working in our goods receiving and purchasing departments to provide you with the opportunity to look outside the box and familiarise yourself with different areas within the business. At Hilscher, you will therefore spend your apprenticeship in many different departments within the company – variety is guaranteed.
You will be placed in your specialist department during the final months of your apprenticeship. You will consolidate your knowledge in this area, work independently on a project and thoroughly prepare for part 2 of your final examination. In most cases, the specialist department is the department in which our apprentices would like to work after completing their apprenticeship. We will therefore look for your specialist department together with you and will take your wishes into account.
Alongside training within the company, you will attend the Friedrich-Ebert school in Wiesbaden that is situated about a 30 minute drive away from our company premises and is also easy to reach by public transport. Our apprentices attend vocational school in full-time blocks. This means that the theory and practical phases of your apprenticeship are separate and that you are able to concentrate fully on the theoretic content during the phase in education.
