Deutsche Telekom’s trainee program offers university graduates a structured opportunity to enter the working world. Over a period of 18 months, the participants explore various business units in Germany and abroad and, in doing so, gain comprehensive practical experience by taking part in challenging projects and customer-oriented placements.
The primary focus during this program is the development of digital skills, strategic thinking, and a game-changer mentality. The program is supplemented with innovative learning formats that encourage autonomy, curiosity, and networking. An essential component is Magenta Friday – a platform for creativity, collaboration, and the implementation of projects in the fields of business, social topics, and sustainability.
The program significantly contributes to the training and education of future-oriented experts and managers and underlines Deutsche Telekom’s commitment to being an attractive employer. It creates a clear framework to promote talent and helps graduates to independently and bravely shape their career development.
