Training with real prospects
Wholesale and foreign trade is the hub of the economy – not just for Germany’s national market, but also for the wider European market and sales areas worldwide. Without wholesale trade, the business relationships between manufacturers and retailers would lack transparency: after all, it is only through the involvement of wholesale trade that it is possible to establish an overview in the first place.
Trade is creative. Trade is fun. Trade has a future. Trade is dynamic. Trade encompasses a wide variety of products and opportunities to interact with different people and build and maintain business relationships – getting bored is out of the question!
Wholesale and foreign trade professionals are the go-to experts for professionals, addressing the retail trade, industry, crafts and agriculture. They combine the business relations between producers and buyers, highlight rational and cost-effective routes for goods, exploit their knowledge of the markets, and ensure the smooth, quick and flexible sale of all kinds of goods through forward-looking logistics processes.
We provide you with every opportunity to really make the most of your training. The qualities we are ideally looking for include a high willingness to learn, real drive to succeed, and a passion to grow and develop. It is also important that you enjoy working with people, have the ability to work in a team, and can offer strong organisational skills and flexibility. We are happy to provide you with any tools and assistance you may need. The rest is entirely up to you
