Apprenticeship at thyssenkrupp
Apprenticeship training for young people in particular is a central element of thyssenkrupp's corporate philosophy and an important building block in securing our long-term supply of skilled workers.
There are various apprenticeship models to choose from: On the one hand, there is theclassic training(German) in the industrial, technical or commercial area. On the other hand, there is the option of completing a dual study program(German). This combines the advantages of theoretical studies and practical training.
The apprenticeships are organised largely autonomously by the individual segments and the associated companies. To ensure the high quality of our training programs, there is a monthly exchange between the training coordinators of the respective segments. The Group Youth and Trainee Council (KJAV) serves as a central point of contract for all trainees and dual students. It advocates for their interests within the company.
