From the beginning of your training, you will have a strong team at your side. Your trainer is your first point of contact for individual support and the structure of your training.

We promote camaraderie with team-building events during training and project work, including trainee excursions, Christmas parties and the opportunity to take part in all other events offered by VAHLE, such as company parties and company sports. You become part of the VAHLE family.

It is important to us that our trainees not only understand their own craft. You will also get to know the interrelationships and interfaces between the specialist departments and can also look over the shoulders of colleagues from other departments.
