Student placement: we have answers to your questions!

Do you know what you want to do after school? Training or studies? Workshop or office? During your placement we will find out together where your strengths lie and which profession best suits you. As a student, you will have the chance to set the course for your further academic and professional career during your mandatory or voluntary work placement. A student placement usually takes place during school time, a voluntary placement during the holidays.

Have we sparked your interest? Then talk to your teachers and your parents and apply to us. An application that reaches us between two and six months in advance of the placement will stand a good chance at being accepted. Ideally, you should also state in your application documents whether you want to complete your placement in the technical, sales, or IT area.

What should you do after school? How about a dual study course!

Combine theory and practice with the dual study course in mechanical engineering. In partnership with Bochum University (Velbert/Heiligenhaus campus) or the University of Wuppertal and the Industry Vocational Training Centre (BZI) in Remscheid, we offer a dual study programme in mechanical engineering.

The contents of the course and the vocational part in the company are perfectly coordinated. You are employed by the company throughout your training and study period. That way you can apply what you have learned during your studies to practical situations. You will receive a training allowance based on the collective wage agreement of the metal industry and further costs (semester fees, book costs etc.) will also be borne by us. 

This is how we are able to offer you a Bachelor's degree with practical experience in 4 or 4 ½ years. Once you pass, you will not only have attained a Bachelor's degree, you will also have a vocational qualification in a metal-processing trade (e.g. industrial technician or toolmaker). At the end of the fourth semester, you will sit the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) examination. With this you earn your first professional qualification. The last four semesters are devoted mainly to your studies.
