Details of your apprenticeship at SEW‑EURODRIVE

We teach you all about the manual and mechanical processing of materials and how to assemble our products. You will have direct access to the machines and be able to gain experience in handling automated production equipment and complex manufacturing systems. We apply the highest standards, so you take responsibility for the quality of the products you make. We give you insights into the different departments where industrial mechanics work.

The practical part of your basic training predominantly takes place at our plant in Graben-Neudorf. A professional team of experienced trainers will give you regular feedback and will always be on hand to offer advice and support. You will also benefit from the state-of-the-art training center we are opening in Graben-Neudorf in fall 2025. Your technical training is shared between our Graben-Neudorf and Bruchsal plants.

Alongside your practical training, you will be taught the relevant theory in the classes (Balthasar-Neumann-Schule 2) you attend and also in seminars about work methods, teamwork, and many other topics. You will attend vocational school in Bruchsal two days a week.

These are the options open to you after your apprenticeship

After completing their training, industrial mechanics work for us as specialists in all kinds of departments, including assembly, production, and customer service. If you have big ideas for your future and want to continue developing your skills, you could also choose to undertake further training as a supervisor or specialist technician. You will already have the most important prerequisites – character, strong abilities, and excellent commitment.

This is the package we offer you

The stipend we pay you is clearly regulated, based on the collective agreement for the metal and electrical industry in North Württemberg / North Baden:

  • First year of training: EUR 1267.00
  • Second year of training: EUR 1337.50
  • Third year of training: EUR 1433.00
  • Fourth year of training: EUR 1513.50

Money isn't everything, though. You can look forward to numerous other benefits, including a 35-hour week, flextime days, special bonuses, a company pension, a travel allowance, a canteen, and much more besides!

What we are looking for

The entry requirement for our apprenticeship as an industrial mechanic is a mid-level diploma (Mittlere Reife) from a vocational high school (Werkrealschule, Realschule, or Fachschule) or a basic-level diploma (Hauptschulabschluss) with good grades.

Grades are not the sole factor we consider in our decisions about training positions – they are more a way of ensuring you get an interview. It is important that your personal capabilities suit the training and us as a company. The qualities we look for include enjoying your work and the will to drive things forward. As a result, we are interested in the overall picture, especially your grades in mathematics, technology, and natural sciences.
