Your Apprenticeship at ELA

Depending on the apprenticeship occupation you choose and your previous qualifications, the training usually lasts three years. If you have a university entrance qualification, the duration can be shortened.

To make sure you feel comfortable right from the start, we begin with a two-week onboarding phase, our onboarding. This includes the following:

• We get to know each other better.
• You learn more about our products and experience the various processes first-hand, including when building a container or riding shotgun in one of our trucks.
• You receive interesting training sessions such as telephone and driver safety training or Word and Excel courses.

After that, depending on the apprenticeship occupation, you will either rotate through different office departments or work permanently in one production hall. You will complete the theoretical part at a vocational school of your choice. In the first year of your apprenticeship, you will attend school two days a week, and in all subsequent years once a week.
