Dual study Programs at Melitta

 

 

Melitta’s dual study programs offer the perfect mix of hands-on experience at work and theoretical knowledge at university. And you can help shape the practical phases yourself thanks to our individual station planning. You’ll get an inside view of different company departments, get to know colleagues, and pave the way for your future career at Melitta. Of course, your supervisors are always on hand to advise you.

Apprenticeship at Melitta

 

 

The choice is huge! Whether you’re looking for a commercial or industrial/technical apprenticeship – we can help you lay the foundation for your future career. Our experienced colleagues will include you in their day-to-day work right from the start and have some exciting tasks in store for you. And in addition to the mandatory work stations, you can naturally have a say when it comes to planning the other stations. Your supervisors will support you and be by your side throughout the entire training period.

Our benefits for you

Our trainee trip is legendary. A few months after you join Melitta, we set off with all the first-year apprentices to spend a few days together. This way we can all get to know each other even better. You can look forward to an exciting program.

Your apprenticeship at Melitta starts with the induction days. Over 3 days, you can expect a colorful program to get to know the other apprentices, operating divisions, and our products. You’ll get plenty of information about the apprenticeship program. And our scavenger hunt will help you discover every corner of your company – including production.

At the start of their training, each new apprentice receives support from their personal mentor – an apprentice in their second or third year and where possible learning the same trade. You can ask them all your questions and get tips on everyday life at Melitta.

Whether it’s water, cocoa, coffee or tea – all your drinks are free of charge.

In addition to your normal salary, you’ll get holiday and Christmas bonuses.

After all that work, you need to unwind sometimes – and our summer party, annual Christmas party, or team parties are the perfect place to let your hair down.

If you work, you have to eat! Our company restaurants serve delicious food every day to give you the energy you need for your training.

For those interested in one of our commercial professions, we’ll be happy to check whether we can offer you an internship so that you can get to know the different departments.

 

Send us an email stating your preferred department and internship duration, as well as where you’d like to do the internship to: bewerbung.schuelerpraktikum@melitta.de. You can also attach a CV if you like.

Career Exploration Days

The career exploration days are internships that last just one day. These days are organized by local schools. At our site in Minden, we offer a special program for this day that will give you an overview of the Melitta Group and the various jobs we offer – both commercial and technical. These days are offered three to four times a year in cooperation with schools in the Minden area.

 

In addition to the career exploration days, we also hold a Girls and Boys Day. This takes place once a year and the date is set by the German ministries. It will give you an insight into the different professions at Melitta – free of gender clichés!

 

Want to take part in the Girls and Boys Day or a career exploration day at the Melitta Group? Then send us an email in good time to bewerbung.schuelerpraktikum@melitta.de – there are only a limited number of places.
