In the thick of it instead of just being there - our trainees

„At a private party, I asked Raphael if I could maybe do an internship at KTK. I then applied right away as a wholesaler and export merchant – everyone’s so nice, I had to stay!“

„I found KTK via the website of a recruitment agency, and applied straight away for an internship. I started as an intern in shipping. And I’ve been a trainee here since 2023!“

„I came across a KTK job advert via the German job centre and applied immediately. Raphael, my trainer, got in touch right away and sent me suggested dates for an interview!
After that, everything happened really quickly: first a short internship and then I signed my training contract!“

„I’m training to be a management assistant in wholesale and foreign trade management. At the moment, I’m working in shipping and do everything that comes up. Sometimes things get really busy, but then there are phases when it calms down a bit.“

„I’m training to be a management assistant in wholesale and foreign trade management. I’ve been in sales since September 2024, and draw up orders and quotes, among other things. I like it a lot, because I’m always learning something new!“

„I’m in my final year of my traineeship. In sales and distribution, I’ve taken customer inquiries over the phone, drawn up quotes and orders, created supplier orders and monitored deadlines. I’m a real all-rounder here, thanks to my speed and because my colleagues have trained me up so well!“

„I liked the visit to the Oktoberfest the best! Because it was the first time I spent time with my colleagues outside of work. Our boss too, by the way – and he was much more laid back than in the office, but that’s to be expected I suppose... And that was really cool!“

„I’ve only been in Germany for three years. I learnt German in my home country, Iran. And now I’m here at KTK and am doing my job in German – every day I have to pinch myself!“

„The barbecue in the summer of 2024! I manned the coals, and cooked whatever my colleagues’ hearts desired.“

„I look forward to seeing my colleagues every day! They’ve always got a positive outlook. We talk and laugh a lot together, so get to know each other even better and build a real community.“

„I think so too! It’s like one big family here: we all support one another and stick together.“

„Most of all, my colleagues and the good teamwork, because with that we can really achieve a lot. And as a young person, of course I also look forward to my trainee salary at the end of each month!“
