Trainee Program Outline

For the International Trainee Program, you will be hired locally for a defined Trainee position in a Strategic Business Unit and a country in which HOERBIGER is represented.

During the first module of the International Trainee Program, you will get to know your Strategic Business Unit, key procedures and processes, important stakeholders and contact persons. You will become integrated in the organization of the hiring country and build your local network. Duties that challenge and encourage you in your development will be coordinated with you.

During the second module, you will work in an organization that is located outside of your hiring country. You will get to know the procedures and processes of the same Business Unit in a different country and contribute your initial experience from your hiring country. You will establish international contacts and deploy them as part of your assigned duties.

During the third module, you will change Business Units to get to know similar activities and functions in a different context, with different products. This will allow you to create a network across Business Units and you will better understand the interrelations within HOERBIGER.

During the fourth module, you will become increasingly integrated in the work flow of your target position ('integration phase') to be able to gradually assume greater responsibility and be ready for your target position after successfully completing the Trainee Program.

At the end of each module, you will prepare a presentation on your area of responsibility, in which you can demonstrate your performance.

Your  "Trainee Mentor" and Corporate HR will offer continuous assistance and support. Naturally, you will regularly exchange experiences with your colleagues in the Trainee Program. You also should not miss attending our "Meet the CEO Event" as part of the Trainee Program!
