Studying and starting your career – all at the same time

As a working student at Gebr. Becker, you’ll work within the company whilst pursuing your degree. You’ll gain practical experience over an extended period and gain an insight into real-world work processes – not just brief taster sessions, but a meaningful, ongoing complement to your studies.

 

Right from the start, you’ll be part of the team and take on responsibility within your own area of work. You’ll work alongside experienced colleagues and be able to apply the knowledge you’ve gained during your studies directly in practice.

Here’s what we offer you as a working student:

  • Involvement in real-world tasks and business processes
  • The opportunity to take on responsibility within your own area of work
  • Collaboration with experienced colleagues
  • The ability to balance your studies with your work, subject to the company’s capabilities
  • Dedicated points of contact and regular coordination within the team

What to expect: You’ll work in a department that matches your degree programme. Your responsibilities are clearly defined, but there’s also scope to contribute your own ideas and think proactively. Your tasks will range from supporting roles to working independently on clearly defined projects.

Practical experience that takes you further

An internship at Gebr. Becker offers you the chance to complement your studies with practical tasks. You’ll work on real-world issues from day-to-day business operations and gain insights into workflows, processes and how everything fits together – in Wuppertal or Apolda.

 

As a family-run business, we value reliability, clear structures and meaningful tasks. We don’t just assign students tasks; we actively involve them, both professionally and as part of the team.

For you, this means:

  • Working on specific tasks from day-to-day business operations
  • Gaining an insight into operational workflows, processes and interrelationships
  • Working alongside experienced colleagues
  • Dedicated points of contact and regular feedback

A clear framework means there is scope to focus on your own areas of interest: The duration and scope depend on your degree programme regulations, the assignment brief and mutual agreement. This framework provides guidance. At the same time, you have the opportunity to incorporate your own interests and academic specialisations.
