What is it like to be part of the #Dussmannschaft team?

Let's ask our trainees and students first-hand:

Like a second family

From day one, I knew that the team would be like a second family to me. And looking back, I can only affirm that. I'm now at the end of my apprenticeship and I have to say that I've grown very fond of my trainer and my department ‘mentor’. What I find particularly exciting about my work is that you always notice when the atmosphere is tense. Then I can put a smile on people's faces with good service and delicious food. Can I recommend Dussmann as a training center? Yes, you have a large and friendly team, humane working hours, and a special workplace in the heart of Berlin.

It's all in the mix

With the mixture of practice and theory, I feel optimally prepared for the working world. I can always count on the support of my colleagues.

Diversity at work

What I particularly like about my training as a security guard is the variety in dealing with people. My team is like a big family that is always there for you.

A dual study program at Dussmann is the perfect combination of theory and practice. You spend phases at the university during which you acquire theoretical knowledge.

During your studies, you will rotate through various interesting and exciting company departments and gain a wide range of experience. You will also be optimally prepared for your professional future.

But that's not all: You will also receive a fixed salary during the theoretical study phases. And we will pay your semester fees so you don’t have to worry about it.

An apprenticeship at Dussmann is especially distinguished by the variety of opportunities. In addition, we not only offer comprehensive personal support and development during your apprenticeship, but also give you the opportunity for further advancement within the company once you have successfully completed your training. As part of the #Dussmannschaft team, you will be valued as a junior employee and given the opportunity to actively shape your career with us.

We also make sure that you have dedicated contact persons at your side throughout your apprenticeship. This individual approach ensures that you will receive personal and professional support tailored to your needs and goals.  

We cannot guarantee that – but our aim is to hire all apprentices and students after they have successfully completed their training.

Apprenticeships at Dussmann always start on September 1st. 

Ideally as early as possible. Our apprenticeship positions are generally posted starting in October for the following year. 

That depends entirely on the type of apprenticeship you want to apply for. The specific qualification you need is stated in each job posting.

But one thing is for certain: Grades are not everything. Impress us with a great application and your personality. 

The duration of a recognized training occupation is specified in the training regulations. But in this case as well, it depends on the specialization. Apprenticeships usually last three or three and a half years. Extensions and shorter periods are possible under certain circumstances. 

Yes, the training period can be shortened under certain circumstances. The prerequisite for this is the expectation that the training objective will be achieved in a shorter time. It must be ensured that the entire training content has been taught in the shorter time period. 

Working hours are generally 40 hours per week. In the case of training contracts governed by collective agreements, the working hours are based on the provisions of the collective agreement.
