Our apprenticeship concept for trainees and dual students
Entering the world of work is an exciting step - and this year we are particularly pleased to welcome a large number of new colleagues! In our selection process, we chose 45 talented individuals from 4,044 applications for 11 different apprenticeships and dual study programs. Welcome again, dear first-year students! Let's start creating future forward - together!
But what can our new trainees actually expect? How are they introduced to their new role and what opportunities do they have to develop professionally and personally? We asked them. Tina from the apprenticeship team gives us an exciting insight into our training concept and the many opportunities it offers.
Hi Tina! Can you briefly explain how the apprenticeship at OTTO works?
"Moin, of course with pleasure! We attach great importance to accompanying and supporting our apprentices and dual students on their way into the professional world. Our training concept consists of various modules that cover both personal and professional aspects. We combine practical experience with theoretical knowledge and leave plenty of room for learning and experimentation. It's not just about teaching specialist knowledge and methodological skills, but also about strengthening personal development."
That sounds exciting! What does the onboarding process look like for you?
"Onboarding is the first step of our three-phase profile training and is important for a good start with us. This is where the basics are taught and an overview of OTTO, our values and our way of working is given. The new apprentices and dual students are integrated into the team and it is ensured that everyone feels comfortable right from the start. Onboarding is the basis for the entire apprenticeship."
And what happens after the onboarding?
"After onboarding, basic training begins , during which initial practical experience is gained and basic technical skills are built up. This is followed by profile deepening, in which the apprentices and dual students can focus on specific topics that match their training occupation or course of study. The special thing about this is that you can choose the assignments and teams yourself. This allows them to better identify their own strengths and interests and develop skills that are relevant for the future."
Exciting! And what do you do to promote the professional and personal development of apprentices during their apprenticeship?
"Throughout the entire training period, trainees and dual students are supported in their development through individual guidance and coaching. Progress is reflected on in regular meetings with the training team and the next steps are planned. Individual training modules such as training courses, workshops and events are also offered to promote both professional and personal development. Cooperation and networking are also important to us. We attach great importance to an active exchange within the apprenticeship community, in the specialist departments and at the interfaces. We also take responsibility - for ourselves, for the team and for society. For example, through our commitment to corporate volunteering, which offers the opportunity to think outside the box and make a contribution to society."
And tell me, how do you approach the topic of learning for the apprentices?
"Learning is a central component of the apprenticeship. As everyone learns differently, support is offered to help them find their own way. Further training can take place at university, at vocational school or through internal learning opportunities. Through various learning platforms, training courses and online courses, we can provide optimal preparation for theoretical content and examinations. It is important that trainees and apprentices take their training into their own hands and play an active role. In this way, personal and professional components within the training concept dovetail perfectly."
The personal apprenticeship modules
Living self-management
We take initiative for our personal development and for ourselves. We know our values and goals well and align our actions accordingly. We take responsibility for our tasks, organize ourselves and take care of our well-being and health.
Further development & learning
Let's learn from and with each other. Everyone learns differently and there are different goals. At OTTO, you have the opportunity to take your development into your own hands: in your assignments, at school or university or through the available learning opportunities.
Be courageous & live change
You can play an active role in shaping your apprenticeship@OTTO: with your ideas, suggestions and opinions. We are always ready for change and open to your input. We try things out together, recognize the value of our contribution and learn to be proactive. This sometimes involves making mistakes, which we deal with openly.
Collaboration & Network
We want you to feel comfortable and see us all as multipliers of the corporate culture at OTTO. We promote cooperation and networking in the trainee community, in the operational departments and at the interfaces.
Taking responsibility
We embrace diversity, are committed to corporate volunteering and align our actions at OTTO with sustainable development goals. In this way, we all make an important contribution to our teams: reliability, a sense of responsibility and respectful and fair treatment on an equal footing.
Design & Inspire
We value different perspectives. These help us to find innovative solutions and strengthen our ability to shape and change. Get involved, ask questions, think outside the box. We are passionate about moving forward and experimenting to shape our learning objectives.
Last but not least: What do you think is special about training at OTTO?
"An Apprenticeship with us means being courageous and actively driving change. Ideas, suggestions and opinions are always welcome and that's exactly what we want to encourage! For us, it is important to get actively involved and to dare to make mistakes - this is part of the learning process and the only way to grow personally. It's not for nothing that we also call our apprentices future strikers. We look forward to talented people who want to help shape the future."
Lulu, what do you think is special about the apprenticeship concept at OTTO?
"For me, the special thing about the apprenticeship concept at OTTO is that my further development and my learning are in my own hands. The most diverse learning opportunities and offers are available and I can decide for myself where I want to access, deepen my knowledge and take on responsibility!"
