One profession — many opportunities
Uelzena offers excellent conditions for anyone interested in a commercial apprenticeship. From procurement to marketing and controlling — we provide insights into many different occupational fields.
During the vocational training, the apprentices will work in eight different departments at Uelzena: finance and accounting, controlling, marketing, sales and distribution, human resources, procurement, logistics and product planning. A variety of different tasks will be assigned. The apprentices will negotiate with customers and suppliers, prepare offers and initiate orders, plan marketing actions and staff deployment and work in the accounting department.
This huge range of different activities offers a great overview on various areas of practice. The apprentices learn about their interests and strengths and can decide in the third year of their apprenticeship on their personal area of specialization.
Be proactive — right from the beginning
At Uelzena it is important to us that our apprentices are actively participating in our work and that we assign them their own tasks. They will work on specific topics and can contribute their ideas.
