One of the key features of the Ausbildung system is its dual approach, combining workplace training with classroom education.

Trainees typically spend three to four days per week at the company, where they work under the guidance of experienced professionals.

The remaining one to two days are spent at the vocational school, where they attend classes and receive theoretical instruction.

This dual system ensures that trainees acquire both practical skills and theoretical knowledge, making them well-rounded professionals.

To apply for an Ausbildung program, individuals typically need to have completed their compulsory schooling (usually up to age 16 or 18).

The application process varies depending on the profession and the company offering the training position.

It may involve submitting a resume (Lebenslauf), a cover letter (Anschreiben), and relevant documents such as school transcripts and certificates.

Some professions may also require applicants to undergo aptitude tests or interviews as part of the selection process.
