WHAT AWAITS YOU IN YOUR APPRENTICESHIP

DESIGN OF OUR STORES

To ensure that our stores are always recognisable, our headquarters is responsible for ensuring a uniform shop window and product presentation. During your apprenticeship, you will be at the centre of this process and will participate in developing suitable design concepts for our stores so that our colleagues can set them and the merchandise up according to your designs.

CREATIVE FLAIR

Both during and beyond your apprenticeship as a Designer for Visual Marketing, having a creative flair is essential. That’s why we want to support you in expressing your creative nature, being able to better assess the impact of light, shapes and colour, and in putting your many creative ideas into practice.

DIGITAL DESIGN

Experience an exciting mix of handicraft and digital work during your apprenticeship at Ernsting’s family. In addition to design using physical tools and materials, which you will learn about at our partner training company, you will also learn about digital design on the computer using the relevant software.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

In addition to your apprenticeship, we also support you with your personal development. You will learn how to cooperate and communicate with colleagues and external partners in a trusting way, how to organise your tasks, and how to act independently and in a future-oriented way. Your personal development is also complemented by seminars, smaller projects and events.

HAVE YOUR SAY, PARTICIPATE, SHAPE THINGS

Your ideas and opinions are always welcome. We look forward to discussing with you and hearing new input from you! So that you can contribute directly at Ernsting’s family, you will also be given your own small projects and learn to take on an increasing degree of responsibility for your tasks. You can also help shape your apprenticeship individually and together with other apprentices.

Opportunities for a permanent role and further development

SO, YOU’VE FINISHED YOUR APPRENTICESHIP, NOW WHAT?!

After your apprenticeship, there are many paths you can take in your future career. When you finish your apprenticeship, we will take the time to look at what the next steps in your career could be together with you.

Many of our apprentices want to stay with us and continue learning after their apprenticeship. We will also be happy to support you here!
