Your apprenticeship at ept

Of course, these products have to fulfill strict standards before they can be used in such sensitive industries. To make sure that we are able to produce high-quality parts, ept needs competent staff who are both experienced in their jobs and passionate about what they do. ept is particularly enthusiastic about training these employees at the company itself. “We offer our apprentices the best possible head start to their careers,” says HR Manager Joachim Ruber. “We do our best to support them as they learn and gain new experiences.” The apprentices spend their very first weekend together with their instructors, getting to know one another and having fun before they start their daily work routines. Apprentices engage in challenging work at ept and are thoroughly rewarded for their efforts with paid vacations and Christmas bonuses, a company vehicle for apprentices, and creative projects as well as support and encouragement as they prepare for their examinations. Apprentices studying for examinations are provided with opportunities to study during working hours, and ept covers the cost of test preparation courses.
At ept, candidates can choose between eight different vocations, from toolmakers and industrial management assistants to surface coaters. Naturally, both boys and girls are equally capable of pursuing any of these vocations, as we like to demonstrate at ept’s annual Girls’ Day. And if you are looking for an additional challenge, you can pursue a dual study program and combine a university degree with your apprenticeship. ept’s programs provide you with the best opportunities to develop your skills and build a career at the company.
