Apprenticeships

Deciding what to do when you leave school is very important. What type of job are you interested in -  whether it is science, technology or administration. There are many options for you to choose from and we cannot decide for you.

Avnet´s Apprenticeship Programmes offer theoretical learning combined with extensive on-the-job training. Apart from acquiring practical knowledge, it is an excellent opportunity to gain invaluable experience and unique insight into a successful, international company with the best performers going on to secure permanent posts within Avnet.

More than 100 young people are currently attending  Avnet's Apprenticeship Programmes throughout EMEA and more than 90% move into permanent jobs, once they have completed their Apprenticeship successfully.

Dual study programme

Are you ambitious and strive to achieve a career? Avnet offers you an excellent opportunity to reach this goal with our Dual Study Programmes. Regardless of whether your goal is a business or technology career: Every field of study features a balanced combination of vocational training, academic studies and practical experience.

Many aspects of the Dual Study Programme are unique, including the application process. Students do not apply at the university directly, instead they apply for a position at an Avnet Company and are simultaneously accepted at the cooperating university once they have been selected. The company then becomes the location for practical training and the university is responsible for theory. The students get an employment contract, and throughout the entire period, they receive a monthly salary and social benefits like any other employee.

In this integrated degree, three-monthly study phases that take place at the university campus alternate with practical phases of the same length. Hardly any other training programme offers you better perspectives for your career.

School student internship

Internships are an excellent opportunity of finding out more about our company, processes and the people who work for us. It's a valueable experience that can help you find the direction you want to take for your professional career. At Avnet we offer school student internships (1-2 weeks, only available in Germany at the moment) to learn more about our apprenticeship and dual study programmes.

Please take into consideration, that we can only consider talented school students from secondary school level (grade 9 and 11), as this is the minimum requirement for our current apprenticeship programmes. If you want to apply for a school student internship, please send us a short motivation letter, CV and your latest school certificate at least 3 months ahead the scheduled week.

If you do not find internships of your interest via the jobsearch, please apply through the local recruiting channel of the respective business unit.
