Your springboard into working life.
Whether you are at school, studying at university or completing further training, a placement at Cteam offers you the valuable opportunity to gain practical experience in a professional environment and to further develop your skills. It may be your first step into the world of work and can therefore be decisive for your career orientation and planning. The placement not only provides valuable insight into everyday working life, but also helps you decide which profession truly suits you.
For Cteam, a placement is a chance to get to know motivated young talent at an early stage, bring fresh perspectives into the C-team and provide potential future employees with practical experience. A school work placement is often the first point of contact between pupils and potential future employers. It’s a win-win situation: we benefit from fresh perspectives, and pupils have the chance to test their skills in a real working environment.
A placement offers a wide range of advantages:
Different types of placements
There are various types of placements, each with different goals: school work placements provide initial insight into the world of work, compulsory or voluntary placements for university students allow them to apply what they’ve studied in practice, and for career changers or those in further training, placements offer an opportunity to gain additional work experience and orientation in new fields.
A placement in the commercial field
A placement in the commercial field offers the opportunity to gain basic knowledge in areas such as finance and controlling, IT and human resources. Interns learn to work with standard software tools, gain insight into financial planning and the execution of business processes and become familiar with administrative tasks. Typical tasks include supporting invoice processing, organising meetings, preparing quotations and communicating with customers and suppliers. Such a placement is ideal for you if you value structured working and have an interest in business-related matters and organisational procedures.
A placement in the technical field
A placement in the technical field provides practical insight into tasks such as design, manufacturing, quality control and technical documentation. Interns often work with specialised software tools such as CAD programmes, learn the basics of project planning and gain an understanding of safety standards and maintenance processes. Typical tasks may include preparing technical drawings, contributing to production, conducting tests or supporting the development of new products. This type of placement is especially suitable for people with a strong interest in technology, analytical thinking and a hands-on approach to problem solving.
