WHAT AWAITS YOU IN YOUR APPRENTICESHIP

OUR GOODS JOURNEYS

From the design in Coesfeld-Lette through to the sale at our stores in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands or through our online shop: you will provide support with the planning, purchasing and marketing of our products, organise the goods transport and settle invoices.

OUR LOGISTICS PROCESSES

The Logistics department is responsible for deliveries to our 2,000 stores in Germany, Austria and the Netherlands as well as orders in our online shop. You will learn all about our highly complex logistical processes and help ensure that everything is in the right place at the right time.

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.

HOW THE APPRENTICESHIP IS STRUCTURED

In the third year of your apprenticeship you’ll spend your specialisation year in a department that you particularly enjoyed working in during the first two years of your training. Drawing on your personal views, your feedback interviews after each departmental assignment and the advice from our training and development team, we will find the perfect department for you and the third year of your apprenticeship.

You will also learn all the necessary technical and background knowledge that you will need to work as a Wholesale and Export Retail Management Specialist at vocational college. Your apprenticeship will be rounded off with a variety of internal seminars, events and workshops.

SUPPORT DURING YOUR APPRENTICESHIP

MENTORS FROM THE APPRENTICE COMMUNITY

In the first year of your apprenticeship you have a second year mentor who is there to help and advise you. You therefore have a mentor who was in a similar situation to you last year.

TRAINING STAFF IN OUR DEPARTMENTS

In every department there is at least one trainer who is there for you throughout your apprenticeship!
