Industrial clerks are the all-rounders in the company. At the CiS Group's training centre, you get to know the entire company process by actively working in various departments. Marketing and sales, human resources, operational and strategic purchasing including warehousing, dispatch, incoming goods through to financial accounting and controlling. The trainees also have the opportunity to visit the production sites in the Czech Republic as well as our subsidiaries Zabel Technik GmbH & Co. KG in Krefeld and newcab GmbH & Co. KG in Paderborn, to work there and to understand which products are manufactured and sold.

In this training company, you have the unique opportunity to start working immediately, there are no test worlds - everything is real. This means that after an appropriate induction, you can talk to customers, negotiate with suppliers or carry out invoicing. We trust our trainees and are delighted when they enjoy taking on responsibility. We want them to contribute their own ideas and apply what they have learnt directly in practice. Teamwork and commercial thinking are learnt from day one. We offer the practical prerequisites that will help you to pass the written and oral exams with ease.

The training content at CiS is also based on the official IHK training framework. Accordingly, you get to know all departments with their diverse commercial tasks and are allowed to work as independently as possible according to your abilities. If you perform well at school and in the company, you have the best chance of shortening your apprenticeship to 2.5 years. The apprenticeship normally lasts 3 years. The trainee spends the preparation for the final oral examination in their ‘favourite department’ according to their interests and abilities. After passing the written and oral final exams, the trainee is offered a permanent position if both parties are equally interested. Ideally, the former CiS trainee will then work in the department where they can best utilise their strengths.

If the apprentice would like to continue their education after their apprenticeship, they will be offered a part-time degree programme or another further training option. We are also happy to support trainees who want to take part in SiA, the study programme alongside their training, in order to obtain two qualifications in four years. Supporting personal and professional development during and after training is very important to the entire CiS team.
