Supporting talents for the digital age

headcount

Our Start up! trainee program offers ambitious and outstanding graduates an entry-level opportunity to start their careers in a specific field and become experts and leaders who will shape the digital future. Over a period of 18 months, trainees contribute new skills, a strategic vision and a game-changer mentality, explore various business units in Germany and abroad, and also gather practical experience by participating in challenging projects and customer-oriented placements.

Innovative formats with a clear focus on independence, curiosity and networking allow trainees to take a path which is aligned to their professional interest and promotes continuous learning and growth. For example, “Magenta Friday” is a dynamic community platform for creativity and collaboration. With the "Magenta Friday" platform trainees can pursue effective business-oriented, social, and sustainability-related projects and consequently become catalysts of culture and innovation at Deutsche Telekom.

This experience not only promotes the development of future-oriented experts; it is also further evidence of Deutsche Telekom’s commitment to being an attractive employer. The company offers a clear framework to promote talent and helps graduates to independently shape their career development and bravely tread new career paths.
