Our training offensive
At the beginning of the training year in August 2022,
Schmitz Cargobull employed 198 trainees including
dual students at all German sites. This represents a growth
of approximately 4.9%. At this time, 15 trainees are also
employed at our international sites.
To ensure that trainees quickly feel a bond with the company,
we place a major emphasis on an intensive onboarding
process. This process includes a parents’ day for all occupational
groups, a welcome event for specific occupational
groups as well as a mentor from the higher apprenticeship
years. During their training itself, the trainees have the
opportunity to establish an extensive network within the
company and even internationally. In the second year of their
apprenticeship, we enable our apprentices to spend time
abroad at one of the participating sites in Denmark, Lithuania,
Austria, Portugal or Spain.

The career orientation phase, in particular, is becoming
increasingly important for young people. We present
Schmitz Cargobull as a potentially interesting employer
during this phase. For example, we hold an open day
at our three major German production sites every year. Our
new training campaign also focuses on trainees and aims
to further strengthen Schmitz Cargobull’s recognition as
an attractive employer. The motto “We put your potential
on the road” was developed in response to interviews with
our trainees. Our Instagram page offers insights into training
and everyday work as an apprentice at Schmitz Cargobull.
The posts on this page are created independently by
our trainees.
