Five Apprentices Start Their Careers at ZEW

Five young people have started their vocational training at ZEW at the beginning of September. In the next two to three years they will be trained in the following professions: Media Design in Digital and Print, IT Specialist for System Integration, and Office Administration with Additional Qualification in English. One of the apprentices will pursue a dual study programme leading to a Bachelor of Arts degree in Online Media.

The young professionals will take part in a comprehensive training. They will gain experience in all of ZEW’s units and will be integrated into day-to-day business. Individual mentoring as well as tailor-made training programmes complement the courses at vocational school and ensure the high quality of ZEW’s vocational training.

"We aim for our apprentices to gather as much practical experience as possible in addition to the theoretical part. We wish to make sure they become qualified employees and can contribute their knowledge in the various working areas of ZEW," says ZEW’s Director of Business and Administration, Thomas Kohl.

ZEW feels the commitment to offer young people a promising start into their careers. The institute’s vocational training has been certified by the Rhine-Neckar Chamber of Industry and Commerce. ZEW has been active in training young people for many years.
