Vocational training at the Linnich site

SIG Combibloc offers around 100 apprenticeship positions in seven different vocations at its site in Linnich, Germany. During your training, you’ll gain an insight into many areas of the company, and you’ll be working alongside qualified professionals from day one. Training at SIG Combibloc is delivered in accordance with job descriptions and core curricula set by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), and all apprenticeships end with an IHK exam.

In-house tuition
In addition to classes at a vocational training school, our apprentices are supported with in-house lessons – this is the most effective way to consolidate the learning of technical skills. In-house tuition alongside your apprenticeship enhances the quality of the training. Once a week, subjects related to the apprenticeship are covered with your instructor (for vocational apprentices) or an external tutor (commercial apprentices), and academic subjects are looked at in more depth. An important focus of the additional classes is intensive exam preparation.

Getting started together – the outdoor induction course
To kick off their training with SIG Combibloc, all apprentices go on an external induction and familiarisation course lasting several days, where the focus is on getting to know one another and taking part in team-building outdoor activities. The destination is always a youth education centre in the wilds of nature. The course content includes a visit to an aerial high ropes course, a group construction activity, and much more. The purpose of this group trip is to develop mutual trust between the apprentices and their instructors, and to have fun together.
