APPRENTICESHIP: INDUSTRIAL CLERK (M/F/OTHER)

A PROFESSION WITH A FUTURE.

Are you interested in business processes? Would you, for example, like to learn how to advise customers or enter sale orders? And would you also prefer to work in a young and highly-motivated team? All this is possible with us!

During the course of your 3-year apprenticeship to become an industrial clerk (m/f/other), you will learn about all the different administrative departments of a contemporary company. You will provide support to our sales team with customer support, you will learn how to enter incoming invoices in the accounts department and you will follow the procurement of raw materials and ancillary materials in the purchasing department. You will also be given the opportunity to spend some time in the work preparation, quality control and shipping divisions.

WHAT'S THAT?

Industrial clerks (m/f/other) are the all-rounders of the commercial professions and can take on various different tasks in an industrial company. They learn about many different functional areas, such as purchasing, sales, marketing, accounts and scheduling, and can take on roles practically anywhere in the company. Whichever area of the company they work in, they can expect lots of exciting tasks.

WHAT DOES an industrial clerk (m/f/other) DO?

During the course of your 3-year apprenticeship to become an industrial clerk (m/f/other), you will learn about all the different administrative departments of a contemporary company. You will provide support to our sales team with customer support, you will learn how to enter incoming invoices in the accounts department and you will follow the procurement of raw materials and ancillary materials in the purchasing department. You will also be given the opportunity to spend some time in the work preparation, quality control and shipping divisions. As you will get an insight into various different departments during your apprenticeship, communication with the different target groups, e.g. customers or suppliers, will play an especially important role. This also takes place in an increasingly international environment. For this reason, we encourage our apprentices to do internships or projects that involve the use of a foreign language. After 3 years (or 2½ years if the apprenticeship is shortened) you will sit the final examinations – and if you do well, there is a very good chance we will offer you a permanent position in one of our administrative departments.

The apprenticeship

As you will get an insight into various different departments during your apprenticeship to become an industrial clerk, communication with the different target groups, e.g. customers or suppliers, will play an especially important role. This also takes place increasingly in an English-speaking environment. For this reason, we encourage our apprentices to do internships or projects that involve the use of the English language. After 3 years (or 2½ years if the apprenticeship is shortened), you will sit the final examinations – and if you do well, there is a very good chance we will offer you a permanent position in one of our administrative departments.

Person specification

Abitur (equivalent to A-level) or a good school-leaving qualification from a Realschule or a higher level school is a good prerequisite. It is equally important to us that you have a good measure of common sense and that you enjoy dealing with figures and with people. If you also have good English skills, like working at the PC and are a good team player, then we really should get to know one another!
