Your challenge
It is important to us to involve you from the very beginning: your colleagues will show you everything step by step and integrate you into our workflows. This way, you can gradually take on more and more tasks and become more and more proficient in using the tools and following the steps.
The training to become an industrial clerk offers a wide range of tasks in various departments. In sales, the focus is on contact with customers and colleagues, price calculation, preparing offers, as well as negotiations and marketing. In procurement, price calculations are carried out, offers are researched and checked, and negotiations with suppliers are conducted and orders are placed. Process planning includes the planning and organization of the use of machines and personnel in coordination with production. In logistics, the emphasis is on goods planning, the creation of freight documents and the tracking of processes. Other important areas are accounting, controlling and human resources, where tasks such as the testing of invoices, the controlling of key figures, time management, as well as personnel marketing and recruiting are carried out. The trainees also get to know various commercial sections such as production, manufacturing, dispatch, the workshop and quality assurance. If they perform well at school, there is the possibility of an exchange program for apprentices within the corporation, for example at the corporate headquarters in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. Before the apprenticeship begins, there is also the opportunity to take part in taster days, internships or vacation jobs to gain an insight into the shipping warehouse and the associated activities.
