IHK-certified quality

Become part of our team! As a recognised IHK training company, we offer first-class training opportunities in a dynamic environment. Start your professional journey with us.

Worth knowing

From A for start to Z for certificate

Right at the start of your training, you will receive a lot of information about the process and organisation of your training during our welcome and induction days. These days are designed to help you settle into working life, familiarise yourself with your fellow trainees and contact persons and get to know VAHLE. To make your start at VAHLE easier, you will have a trainee mentor who will help you at the beginning of your training to find your way around VAHLE and to settle in with us.

The aim of every apprenticeship is to impart defined skills and knowledge by the end of the apprenticeship. We provide you with personalised support throughout the entire training period. You will have a strong team of experts at your side. Your trainer is your first point of contact for support and structuring your training. You will also be supported by a training officer in the respective departments.

At the end of your training, you will be intensively prepared for your exam.

Our team spirit

It is important to us that our trainees see themselves as a team. We promote team spirit with joint events during training and project work. We organise trainee excursions and trainee Christmas parties together and can take part in all other VAHLE events 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 will be able to look over the shoulders of colleagues from other departments.

Your application

To have a chance in our application process, you must submit the following documents:

  • Cover letter
  • Curriculum vitae in tabular form
  • Last certificate or all final certificates

Please only apply via our homepage by uploading your application documents and answer all questions truthfully. Applications sent by post or email will not be processed.

You can applyhere

As soon as you have uploaded your application, you will receive an automatic interim notification signalling that we have received your application.

Once the selection process for each training occupation has started, your application will be reviewed. If it meets our expectations, you may be invited to a recruitment test and then, if you do well, to an interview.

If we offer you an apprenticeship after this interview, you've made it!

Which vocational school will I attend?

Good training also requires good partners in the school part of the training programme. We currently cooperate with the following vocational schools:

  • Hansa Berufskolleg, Unna Hellweg Berufskolleg, Unna
  • Eduard-Spranger-Berufskolleg, Hamm
  • Witten Vocational College, Witten
  • Leopold-Hösch Vocational College, Dortmund

The vocational school varies depending on the training occupation and will be determined by us for you. Please refer to the overview under the respective training occupation.

Who will enrol me at the right vocational school?

We will enrol you at the right vocational school and make sure that our trainees in a training occupation attend the same class wherever possible.

How can I imagine my working conditions?

Well-equipped workstations are available for you. Depending on the profession you are training for, you can use our specially equipped training centre or, particularly in the commercial and IT professions, even work in mobile working. Otherwise, every workstation is of course adapted to ergonomic requirements.

During your training period, you will benefit from a top trainee salary in accordance with the collective agreement of the metal and electrical industry in North Rhine-Westphalia plus a voluntary bonus. In addition, we will cover the monthly costs of your trainee ticket so that you are flexible and mobile and can travel to vocational school without worrying about the weather. Of course, you can also use the ticket for your free time!

How much holiday do I have per year?

Our holiday entitlement is based on the provisions of the collective agreement for the metal and electrical industry in North Rhine-Westphalia. It currently amounts to 30 days' holiday per calendar year. The entitlement is calculated pro rata for the months that you are employed by us in a calendar year.

When does the training start?

Your apprenticeship with us generally starts on 1 August. Due to the school holidays, vocational school may not start until a later date. You will be informed directly by the school.

How do I apply correctly?

To have a chance in our application process, you must submit the following documents:

  • Cover letter
  • Curriculum vitae in tabular form
  • Last certificate or all final certificates

Please only apply via our homepage by uploading your application documents and answer all questions truthfully. Applications sent by post or e-mail will not be processed.

When should I apply?

An ideal time for your application for the following year at VAHLE is from the summer holidays until around the middle/end of October. It is of course still possible to apply after this time, but it is not certain that we will still be able to consider your application.

What happens after I have uploaded my application?

As soon as you have uploaded your application correctly, you will receive a confirmation of receipt.

Once the selection process has started, your application will be reviewed. If it meets our expectations, you will be invited to a recruitment test. If you do well, we would then like to get to know you better during an interview.

If we offer you an apprenticeship after this interview, you've made it!

Why you should become a part of VAHLE!

Diverse training

With us, you will pass through various departments to gain a wide range of impressions and experience. It is important to us to challenge you every day and to consolidate what you have learnt in feedback sessions. We also support you individually so that you can develop further.

With us, you can combine your professional and private life. A 35-hour week with flexible working hours, 30 days' holiday and generally time off after vocational school gives you the freedom you need.

Development opportunities

All doors are open to you at VAHLE. To keep you on board after your final examination, we offer you long-term career prospects, which you can of course help to shape.
