IHK Apprenticeship or Dual Study Program?

An IHK apprenticeship (also known as a dual vocational training program) is particularly well-suited for students who enjoy hands-on work, want to enter the workforce quickly, and wish to start earning their own money early on.

A dual study program is better suited for those who, in addition to hands-on work, also enjoy theoretical content, want to earn an academic degree, and aim to qualify for specialized or leadership roles in the long term.

Of course, you’ll earn money even while you’re studying and get to know the company’s processes and activities, but the coursework and practical experience go hand in hand.

Start your logistics adventure!
The classic path: Your IHK-certified apprenticeship

Want more than just theory? At Grieshaber, you’ll learn through hands-on experience and be supported by a dedicated team of experienced colleagues. Your apprenticeship will be an adventure where you gain new experiences and insights every day. You’ll spend most of your time working on the job, getting to know the tasks in various departments, and attending classes at a vocational school.

 

Earn a degree and gain real-world experience?
Dual Study Program — where theory meets hands-on practice.

Do you want to roll up your sleeves after high school, kickstart your career in logistics, and earn a degree at the same time? And are you interested in business topics and logistics processes?

A dual study program at Grieshaber combines university studies at the DHBW in Lörrach or Mannheim with practical work experience at the company. And if everything goes smoothly, you’ll end up with a bachelor’s degree and can continue your career in a permanent position at Grieshaber.
