I started my apprenticeship as an industrial clerk at stoba in Backnang in September 2020.I found out about the company about six months beforehand through the employment agency website and then applied there. I was then invited to an online interview by the commercial trainer. A few weeks later, we met in person. We also went on a tour of the company. I immediately noticed the very friendly employees, which made me want to do my apprenticeship at stoba. I was therefore delighted when I was accepted a few days later. In the first week, I got to know my fellow trainees and was given a laptop, a smartphone and other work materials. The commercial apprenticeship consists of the apprenticeships for industrial clerk and warehouse logistics specialist. Another industrial clerk and two warehouse logistics specialists started their training with me.
Since 1986, stoba has been training young people to become experts in their field – in a total of nine different professions in the technical, industrial and commercial sectors. As a global driver of innovation, we offer our trainees a job with prospects: Future-oriented, practical, in an international environment and collegial teams, we prepare them optimally for their professional life.
But what do our trainees themselves actually say about this? Why did they choose stoba and what do they particularly like about us? We asked them and summarized their answers in a video. In it, we provide exclusive insights into the day-to-day lives and personal experiences of our apprentices – definitely worth watching!
