Benefits for trainees

What awaits you with us

An apprenticeship where you just tick off what has to be done? Not with us. You are part of a trainee team that meets regularly, tackles projects together and even travels together now and then.

Trainee events

Every year we go on joint outings with all trainees. Whether go-karting, Movie Park or Battle Rooms – on this day fun and teamwork take centre stage.

Regular trainee meetings

All trainees come together every two weeks – no matter which apprenticeship occupation. The focus is on topics that will help you later in your working life, practising presentations and working together on small projects. A good opportunity to exchange ideas, learn new things and look beyond your own training area.

Joint projects

For example, organising company visits with self-guided production tours, trade fairs or cooperation with other companies.

Trainee voices

This is how they started with us

Three trainees, three paths, one shared moment: the first day at C.A.PICARD®. Was sie heute sagen.

Salva Industrial Clerk · 2022 – 2025

Unser Azubiteam war einfach mega und wir hatten unfassbar viel Spaß zusammen. Durch regelmäßige Azubimeetings und Messen ist das Team extrem zusammengewachsen, sodass die gewerblichen und kaufmännischen Azubis eine richtig enge Einheit wurden.  Mein Highlight war das gemeinsame Wochenende in Belgien mit der ganzen Truppe.

Alessio IT Specialist for System Integration · since 2024

What I find special is that you are not left on your own here and always get support. There is simply a good togetherness between the trainees themselves and the other colleagues. The team is relaxed and we get on well, which is why I enjoy working here.

Okan Precision Machinist · 2024 – 2026

Es wird sehr viel Wert auf die Azubis gelegt – Sei es bei der Tätigkeit, der Berufsschule oder auch bei der Gestaltung von Events, wie Messen und Ausflügen. Auch private Probleme, kannst du jederzeit ansprechen. Das macht das Ganze hier schon besonders.
