What is a trainee program?

Trainee programs are long-established career entry programs for young managers in industry and business administration - Gabler's business lexicon defines this as follows:

rotation , coordinated with the beginner (trainee) .

Duration: at least six to a maximum of 24 months.

Design: In addition to the changing areas of application, accompanying qualification programs are usually offered. These serve in particular to deepen company-specific specialist topics and management methods, as well as personal development. The trainees are encouraged to think and act across departments. This is intended to ensure that in their later professional careers within the organization they not only take into account the interests of their own department, but also take into account the effects on other areas of the organization in their considerations and actions. In addition, the trainees can build up a cross-company network of contacts that can be helpful to them and their respective organizational areas. This request is often further promoted through the possibility of participating in mentoring programs. Basically, a trainee program increases the visibility of the participants. Trainee programs therefore serve to qualify and develop versatile, high-performing and high-potential employees.

Sven Jan Arndt, LL.M. adds: “In addition to medical know-how, our trainees are also given the business management skills to run their own practice. From practice for practice.”
