on the topic of support & feedback

What support is available during an apprenticeship at KOB?

During the orientation week and the get-to-know-you days, you will already meet the other trainees, students and trainers. After that – and in addition to the training management team and the trainers – you will be supported in each department by a training mentor, who will help you settle in and assist you with any questions you may have.

Are there regular feedback meetings during the training programme?

Feedback is extremely important to us and forms an integral part of the training programme. After completing each department, you will receive feedback from your respective supervisor.

on the topic of stays abroad & language courses

Is it possible to complete part of the training abroad?

Our commercial trainees and business administration students have the opportunity to spend time abroad during their training. The training programme also includes language courses to help participants improve their foreign language skills.

on the topic of further education opportunities

Does KOB offer further training opportunities after the apprenticeship?

Yes, KOB offers a range of options for this purpose. For example, some train to become technicians or master craftspeople so that they can later lead teams or take on specialist tasks – there are numerous possibilities at KOB, and the training programme lays the foundations for this purpose.

on the topic of internships & final-year projects

What types of internships does KOB offer?

We offer both school internships as well as voluntary internships for career guidance and student internships.

How long does an internship last?

The duration of an internship depends on the type of internship – anything is possible, ranging from a one-week internship to an internship lasting several months.

In which fields can I complete an internship at KOB?

Internships are possible in almost all departments of the company – from production to commercial and administrative departments.

Is it possible to work on a final-year dissertation (Bachelor’s/Master’s) at KOB?

Yes. We actually advertise a number of specific student dissertation projects – but you are also welcome to submit a speculative application at any time!

on the topic of job applications

Can I apply for several job vacancies at the same time?

Yes, you can apply for any jobs that interest you. Please submit a separate online application for each vacancy.

Can I still make changes after I have submitted my application?

Yes, you can still make changes, replace documents or submit them at a later date via our online portal. To do this, log in to your application profile.

How can I prepare for the job interview?

Inform yourself about the company and the career field – ideally, prepare a few questions as well. Make sure you look smart and feel comfortable. Other than that: just be yourself! And stay relaxed: we want to get to know you, not put you through your paces.

How exactly does the application process work?

After submitting your online application, you will receive a confirmation of receipt. We will then review your application and, if appropriate, invite you to sit an assessment test and attend an initial job interview.

For commercial professions and dual study programmes, this is followed by a second interview; for industrial and technical apprenticeship programmes, it is followed by a day’s work experience.

If you are successful, you will receive a letter of offer and your apprenticeship contract shortly afterwards. Your onboarding begins once the contract has been signed.
