Apprenticeship as an Industrial Clerk at JOEST

Hello, my name is Jonas Leufke, I am 22 years old and completed my 3-year apprenticeship as an Industrial Clerk at JOEST this year. After my apprenticeship I was hired by JOEST and am now part of the accounting team. An apprenticeship at JOEST offers a large variety of everything! I got to know 14 different departments on my way to becoming an Industrial Clerk. This gives you complete insight into an entire company and its processes from storage to controlling. A great help is the trust put forward by the colleagues: You don’t only scratch the surface. Instead, you look deep into specialized tasks of a department by yourself.

Apprenticeship as an Industrial Clerk at JOEST

My name is Leonie, and I started my apprenticeship as an Industrial Clerk with JOEST in August 2019. After the first few formalities, I started my training at the reception. Here I built my first connections with various departments and learned about the correspondence with national and international clients, in written form and via telephone. During my apprenticeship I passed through different departments such as Accounting, HR, Sales, Marketing, Purchasing and many more. They gave me deep insight into the different processes and how they overlap. From the first day on, I received challenging tasks that I could work on by myself. If I ever had any questions, I could always count on my colleagues.

JOEST Apprentices have voted

Every two years, the Youth and Trainee Representation is elected. With the goal of representing the rights and interests of trainees and young people in the company vis-à-vis the management and department heads, three members are elected for the next two years: Leonie Scheffler as chairwoman supported by Simon Eigen and Jonas Oppermann. The office was gratefully accepted by them all. With motivation and ambition, the team wants to represent the interests of their colleagues in the coming years.
