In addition to the already established apprenticeship programme as cutting machine operator, Liebherr is further expanding its training activities starting 2020 to include additional technical and administrative professions. Thus, for the first time, the site in Deggendorf welcomes trainees for the specialist areas of metal technology, technical product design, specialist warehouse clerk, IT system integration and management assistant for digitalisation management. With this year's brand-new additions, a total of twelve trainees are currently employed at Liebherr-Components Deggendorf GmbH. "Our aim is to offer our new colleagues exciting career opportunities and to retain them as skilled workers in the long run," explains Alexander Maier, head of trainee development at Liebherr Deggendorf.

The introductory week began on September 1, 2020 with a comprehensive rundown on all aspects of the upcoming training, where the apprentices got to know the company and their fellow trainees. Unfortunately, the planned trainee day in October had to be cancelled due to the Corona pandemic. The event was intended to prepare the new employees and their trainers for the training period. "But postponed does not mean it’s cancelled. We will definitely make up for the event," says Maier.

Enrolment phase for the 2021 training programmes

We are looking for young professionals in the areas of cutting machine operator (m/f), metal technology specialist with a focus on cutting technology (m/f), warehouse logistics specialist (m/f) and technical product designer (m/f).
