Insights into the apprenticeship

As a apprentice, the apprentice community at CENIT is particularly important to me. We are closely networked through group chats and often meet in the trainee room in Stuttgart to exchange ideas and work together. In my team, I particularly appreciate the productive way of working. We focus on the result, not the way to get there. This gives me a lot of freedom and flexibility.

Experience report of a dual student

During my practical phase as a dual student, I was given the opportunity to work in the Mergers & Acquisitions team. I was fully integrated into the daily business and was able to actively participate in all activities related to the acquisition of a company. This collaboration not only gave me deep insights, but also awakened my interest in M&A to such an extent that I am aiming for a part-time Master's degree in this field. CENIT has developed a customised plan for this that will prepare me optimally for a career in M&A. Even before I begin my studies, I will join the finance team and gain practical experience in the fields of finance and Mergers & Acquisitions during my studies.
