A experience report from a former trainee:

Get to know the IT department. Right from the start, I was given the opportunity to gain deep insights into the technical background of the state-of-the-art server and network structure. For example, I was able to edit the configuration of the network switches (data distributors) and to create and distribute group policies, i. e. standard enterprise settings. I was able to draw on the in-depth knowledge of the department and thus had the opportunity to apply the skills I had learned at school in the company.

The IT department at SCHÖLLY is very exciting, as not only the colleagues at the Denzlinger plants, but also the worldwide subsidiaries are centrally supported and supported. As a result, one quickly learns that working in IT support also strongly promotes interpersonal communication beyond cultural and linguistic boundaries.

Another special feature of the IT department at SCHÖLLY is the weekly meeting of all IT employees, at which everyone briefly explains their current projects and dates, thus ensuring that each employee receives an overview of the department’s current activities. As an apprentice, these meetings are particularly interesting because they also give you the opportunity to participate in interesting projects or to experience the decision-making process in many areas.

Overall, working and living in an IT department – especially at SCHÖLLY – is very varied and exciting. Contrary to the cliché of the retired IT man, you get to know a lot of colleagues all over the world, get an insight into their daily workflows and also get to know extended areas of IT, such as IT building technology or telephony systems.

Due to the good atmosphere both within the department and across departments, I always felt adequately challenged and supported during my apprenticeship and never felt like I was “just the apprentice. ” And this is the best way to prepare you for your professional life.
