How I started my vocational training
I’m 20 years old and have been a member of the Stiegelmeyer Group since September 2024.
My industrial management assistant apprenticeship began in the central services department at Burmeier, a part of the Stiegelmeyer Group that is responsible for the Homecare division.
What I particularly liked when I joined the company was that people really took time for me as a new recruit to make this new chapter in my life as easy as possible.
As a result, I was given sufficient time to get to know the work system in place and have access to the various areas which make up our company.
Additional qualification as EU Industrial Management Assistant & dual study programme

After a 3-year apprenticeship, you can complete your degree with a bachelor thesis in just one additional year.
Economic knowledge during the degree course

Design, communication and audience targeting
I was able to help with designing flyers, brochures and online content and was also involved in designing the website and looking after social media channels. In the process, I learnt how important an attractive design and clear messages are to attract the attention of the target audience. I was able to use my creative abilities and learnt a great deal about targeted communication, copywriting and the importance of providing consistent content across different channels.

Starting my Technical Product Designer apprenticeship
“My apprenticeship got off to a very positive start. I received a friendly welcome and was given a detailed introduction to the design processes and the software tools used. To start with, I attended 2 courses in Hamburg on the subject of CAD, which gave me a very good grounding. The team motivated me to be creative and continue to develop my technical skills.”
