Success stories
Good examples of where an apprenticeship at Gruner leads.
Lukas KohlerFrom DHBW study program to Strategic Purchaser
I did a dual study programme in business administration industry at Gruner and today I work in Strategic Purchasing & Project Purchasing in the electronics division.
I decided to study at Gruner, as I was able to gain experience in every department, because the company's flexibility is very high and the financial support during my study is good. My work at Gruner is versatile & holistic. There are new challenges every day and I have good development opportunities & a lot of creative freedom in what I do.
My tip for DHBW study program: Just start, give it a try & keep doing what you enjoy.
Michael PfaffFrom Master's degree to creative product developer
At Gruner, I did my Study Plus in Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, Master in Mechatronic Systems. Today, I work in the field of electromagnet predevelopment and I am the product owner of an agile development team.
Particularly helpful for me was the great practical relevance through the combination of work and study in the company. I consciously chose the Study Plus training model and the Gruner company, since the practical relevance of the work here is very high. In addition, there is a wide range of tasks and you are well supervised and supported.
My work today is very varied. I work predominantly in teams and I get in touch with many different technologies and manufacturing processes. The working atmosphere is familiar, despite the size of the company, commitment and strengths are recognised and encouraged. At Gruner, I get the chance to assume responsibility and help shape things.
My tip for apprenticeship: Be clear about your own interests and strengths before the training, inform yourself sufficiently and, if necessary, try it out through internships. Set a focus during training and hold on, the effort will pay off.
