The Schunk Global Graduate Program is for above-average university graduates from various disciplines, which have already gained some practical and international experience and are willing to take an independent and global approach to their work.
As a trainee, you develop into a highly qualified junior employee for global tasks while getting a comprehensive overview of international structures and processes in the Schunk Group. You are placed in various Schunk companies throughout the world, and interesting projects allow you to put the knowledge you acquired during your studies into practice while constantly building on your skills. International cooperation and practical placements in different countries foster your network and intercultural competence. An overview of our international locations can be found here.

You and all the trainees regularly take part in joint training modules and network events where you can exchange ideas with executives and colleagues, and thus build up your personal network. At the beginning of the program, you will receive an indefinite contract. After completion, we will continue to offer you interesting development and training opportunities in the Schunk Group.
