Learning, support and development

No matter which path you choose, we will supervise and support you in the most demanding and exciting projects. The graduate programme is a mixture of online learning, face-to-face workshops and technical practical seminars. With the help of industry experts, a former graduate as a sponsor and a senior mentor, you will get to know the inner workings of the company and always have an expert contact partner on hand.

Your sponsor will be there for you from day one so that you feel well looked-after – right from the outset.

In addition to an extensive career development programme, networking events give you the opportunity to get to know senior management and members of the Management Board.
