• receive and inspect goods, enter them into the ERP system, and store them in the warehouse
• pick, process, book and dispatch orders (incl. customs declarations)
• pack goods
• perform business administration duties as a warehouse logistics specialists

When your apprenticeship starts

Your apprenticeship will start on August 1. You'll get to know the other trainees at the traditional “trainee lunch”, where you'll also receive all the organizational information you’ll need to know for your time with us. Of course, you’ll also get to know the team from your first training station.

What your typical day of training will look like

Your training will consist of a combination of theory and practice: At school, you’ll learn the theoretical background knowledge you need for your profession and for the IHK final examination. In the practice portion of your training, you’ll support your department in all job-related tasks (except making coffee).

Of course, you’ll spend most of your time working in our logistics department during your apprenticeship. You’ll also gain insights into the other departments of the company, such as:

• Production
• SMD production  
• Inspection & repair  
• Purchasing
• SOP Customer Center

You’ll also gain valuable insights into the industry in general at our trade fairs, and you’ll have the opportunity at trainee fairs to share with others the benefits of your apprenticeship with us.
During the final months of your apprenticeship, you'll be placed in your specialist department. This is where you’ll consolidate your knowledge, work independently on projects and thoroughly prepare for your final oral exam. In most cases, the specialist department is the department in which our apprentices would like to work after completing their apprenticeship. But we’ll work together with you in choosing the specialist department that’s right for you.
