From the start of my apprenticeship to management responsibility in just 10 years! Along the way, I was always able to rely on the support of Bauder and my direct superiors. Of course, it was crucial that I myself showed a willingness to develop and perform - that was the only way to achieve this success.

Training at Bauder - actively involved right from the start

At Bauder, you don't just watch right from the start, you take on exciting tasks. During the apprenticeship, trainees gain a comprehensive insight into the company's business processes and work in various departments. Each apprentice is supported by a personal training mentor. By working in the day-to-day business and taking on tasks independently, the training is varied and practical.

Bauder aims to take on all apprentices after they have successfully completed their training. In addition, the company offers the opportunity for further training after the apprenticeship.
