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.

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.
