Our task is to provide our apprentices with first-class training and help them to pass their exams with above-average results. To ensure this, we compare the average of all final grades at Pöppelmann with the average grade achieved by apprentices on the same training courses throughout Germany.
We support you during your apprenticeship in order to guarantee we continue to meet this goal in the future.

An apprenticeship at Pöppelmann is the cornerstone of your professional future.
We see all apprentices and employees as equal partners – and ideally also as friends. This is why we never think of an apprenticeship without considering what comes next. We not only train to make Lohne smarter. We want the very best, most innovative people in our company – ideally until they retire.
We take care of you during your apprenticeship.
Diverse.
Based on an individual training plan, you will work in the various departments in the company. You will gain experience in all four divisions and will help to shape tried-and-tested and innovative applications for plastic yourself. Even during your apprenticeship, you will have the opportunity to assume responsibility and work on exciting projects and tasks.
Supported.
The support provided through in-company tuition, which complements the teaching content at the training centre and the practical training, is reflected in the good final grades our apprentices achieve. Internal and external tutors regularly recap and supplement the teaching material in both the commercial and industrial areas. The company’s own specialists teach in their specific areas of expertise.
Excellent.
During the first months of the technical apprenticeship, we teach you the basics of the job-specific areas at our training centre. Here, cutting-edge workstations in the areas of metallurgy, plastics technology, electrical engineering and construction await. Regular instruction at the training centre complements the apprenticeship content in the corresponding departments and ensures you are optimally prepared for your exam. This has earned it the IHK ‘Top Training’ seal.
At eye level.
Of course, we are always keen to know what can be improved in our training. When changing departments, all apprentices are therefore automatically asked to provide an evaluation of the department – and vice versa. Feedback for both sides. We use cutting-edge software for this evaluation. The evaluations are then discussed in a joint feedback session, which we also hope will enable all participants to develop their ability to accept and give criticism. A skill that is crucial in many areas of life.
After your apprenticeship, we work together to build on your opportunities.
Chances of permanent employment.
Our growth depends on our next generation of talent. The chances of being taken on permanently are therefore good. Over 90% of our apprentices continue to work for us after their training. Even after completing a degree or changing to a different company, many come back to Pöppelmann, where they did their apprenticeship.
Investment.
Today, further training is more important than ever – not just for professional and personal development, but for us as a company, too. This is why we support you after your apprenticeship with a wide range of further training measures, such as training to become a plant manager or business administrator. And if you achieve good results in your apprenticeship, you can even choose to combine employment with a university degree as a student trainee. Whichever path is right for you, completing an apprenticeship will provide you with a strong foundation to build upon.
Spoilt for choice.
Business or technical? Do you like things a little quieter or are you looking for action? Whiteboard marker or laser?
Deciding on an apprenticeship after leaving school is certainly no easy feat (of course, work placements always help). However, we have something for virtually everyone. Why not have a look through our apprenticeships and see for yourself?
Electrifying
As an electronic technician, you will be on the go across the entire site, installing sockets, networks and lighting as well as carrying out repairs in the workshop.

As an IT specialist, you are in charge of making sure that our IT systems work. You take care of networking our computer systems and keeping our company network secure. Depending on your specialisation, you will also be involved in software system programming, (further) development and support. Learn to code!

All in one go!

You can apply via our job portal. We also hold an annual Taster Day, where young people have the chance to find out more about the various apprenticeships on offer at Pöppelmann. You can register for the next Taster Day on this page once the event is announced – so make sure you come back to check!
Three steps to your apprenticeship.
We try to provide prompt feedback at every step of your application. You should not have to wait around for months without knowing what next August holds for you. However, we do need a couple of days between each application stage.
It goes without saying that your details will be treated strictly confidentially and are only viewed by those responsible for making acceptance decisions.
The application process is very easy – the following three steps are all that stand between you and your goal:
Whatever your teachers or career advisers tell you, apply online. This means lower costs and less work for both you and us – and it is sustainable, too.
As well as your cover letter telling us why you want to do an apprenticeship or dual study course, we need a copy of your current CV and your two most recent references.
You can also upload additional qualifications and certificates.
To apply, simply click on the ‘Apply now’ button in the corresponding apprenticeship advert. You can then create a profile and upload your documents.
Once our trainers and recruiters have viewed your application and think that your choice of apprenticeship is the right fit, you will receive an email invitation to complete our online test.
You can start the test whenever is convenient for you. You have one week to complete it from the date of the email invitation.
If your test result is just as impressive as your application, you will receive another email inviting you to an interview.
If, after reviewing your documents and your test result, we believe that your chosen apprenticeship would be a good match for you, the next step is to get to know you in person.
When your on-site interview arrives, try to relax – although we know this can be difficult. We do not bite; we simply want to see whether you would be a good fit for our team.
It is not about whether you drink water, cola or coffee – what counts is what you have to say and what you want to know about us.
At the end of the interview, we will let you know when we will be in touch with our final decision, which is usually within one week.
