Team day on Monday, training on Tuesday and vocational school on Wednesday – in this video, our apprentice Nina takes you through a typical week at zeb and shows you just how varied her everyday work is.
During the three-year apprenticeship program, you will gain insights into many different departments of our company. You will support our HR management team as well as our personal assistants and secretaries, get involved in marketing and event management and learn the ropes of accounting. In each department, you will be assigned individual tasks from day one.
The Ludwig-Erhard-Berufskolleg in Münster provides the theoretical basis for your apprenticeship.
Your main subjects as a zeb apprentice will be Office Processes and Business Processes. For your electives, you can choose your specialization yourself, whereby Assistance and Secretarial Services is set by us as the second subject.
In human resources management, you will learn about the process of personnel recruitment. You will gain insights into applicant management and take care of sending out candidate communication. Moreover, you will prepare job interviews and shadow your colleagues during the interviews. On top of that, you may also assist us in onboarding processes as well as activities pertaining to personnel development or support.
During your time in the secretaries offices or as an assistant, everything will revolve around communication with our clients. You will be responsible for making appointments, looking after guests and taking care of incoming and outgoing mail. You will also make a lot of phone calls and be involved in the office organization.
You will support your team in internal and external communication. You will make internal news available via our intranet and distribute information about internal events to our colleagues. In external communication, you will organize the creation of texts, designs and translations for our corporate website, the press, our social media channels and client events.
Together with your team you will organize seminars, workshops and in-house training classes for our clients, including preparation and follow-up. A particular highlight is zeb.Uni, a company-wide event that you will have the opportunity to co-organize.
In accounting, you will deal with incoming and outgoing invoices, both domestic and foreign. You will also gain insights into accounting for our consultants’ travel expenses and about financial controlling.
In recognition of your dedication, you are entitled to 28 days of vacation per year.
Learning is an integral part of our employees’ everyday working lives. During your apprenticeship, you will benefit from a wide range of development and further education opportunities that cover both technical topics and personal skills. In addition, digital learning resources are available to help you expand your knowledge flexibly and pursue your own personal development goals.
