Vocational training

Today’s trainees and apprentices are the qualified experts of tomorrow: this is a time-honored maxim at Linde. Our activities also take into account the growing popularity of the new dual studies programs at vocational academies as an attractive alternative to classical university study in Germany. Currently we offer 37 different vocational training programs. To a large extent, apprentices and university students work independently at Linde, withclear-cut responsibilities for their own projects. Last year 77.5 percent of our trainees were given jobs after completing their apprenticeships. To interest potential professional and management staff early on, we have for many years now been assigning thesis projects to exceptionally talented students in fields that match our core business areas.
