Trainee programme in international sales: “That’s exactly what I was looking for!”

Sebastian Weidenbach was confident that he wanted to start his professional career in international sales at a larger company when he was still a student. Having grown up in Ingelheim am Rhein, Sebastian had no connection to the Ruhr region until 2022 - the 28-year-old had associated thyssenkrupp primarily with lifts and escalators. And the technology company headquartered in Essen turned out to be a stroke of luck.

Trainee Programme at thyssenkrupp: A seamless transition from theory to practice

University graduates who want to join a trainee programme to launch their professional careers are often spoilt for choice. At least in theory, but things often look different in practice. This is because many programmes only offer limited opportunities for professional development, lack exciting challenges and structured supervision or the chance to take on responsibility at an early stage. This was not the case for Lisa Sauerzapf: The young engineer started out as a trainee at thyssenkrupp Materials Processing Europe and has never looked back—quite the opposite.
