Our 400 apprentices in Düsseldorf, Mönchengladbach, and Hilchenbach, Germany, would be happy to welcome you to their ranks. We train young people in various professions, and every year we look for new employees who want to start their careers in trade, technical, or commercial fields.
Trade apprenticeships
If you want to learn a trade, you’ll train in our modern LernWERK workshops in Hilchenbach and Mönchengladbach. Available for your training here is equipment including CNC machines and high-tech hydraulic, pneumatic, electronic, and microcomputer systems.
Technical apprenticeships
Technical product designer (m/f/d)
As a future Technical Product Designer, you’ll learn in our draftsmanship classes how to engineer machinery on state-of-the-art computer systems. You’ll immerse yourself step by step into machine development, including computer-aided engineering and materials selection.




Commercial apprenticeships
Featured in our commercial apprenticeship and IT program are some 20 different training fields. Here you’ll gain extensive practical experience. That goes for all our training programs, because practical application of what you learn is a constant focus. Our apprentices repeatedly have the opportunity to work on concrete projects and orders, or even to accomplish them independently.
