Online applications for work experience placements for school students can be submitted through our applications portal:

• Business management placement in Esslingen am Neckar.
• Technical placement in Esslingen am Neckar.
• Technical placement in St. Ingbert-Rohrbach Rohrbach (two periods)

You can find out about all dates and options relating to your work experience placement on the info pages for business management and technical traineeships.

Please note: We place great emphasis on looking after our placement students personally. For this reason, we can only offer a placement in the weeks and areas listed.

Note: Please note that the minimum age for a traineeship during the school holidays is 15. When you are younger, holiday placements are prohibited by the German Youth Employment Protection Act (Jugendarbeitsschutzgesetz).

Student work placements under 15 years old:
Student work placements for students under 15 years old, who are required to attend full-time education, can take place if there is an individual, written approval from the school.
It must be clearly identified from this approval and the work placement certificate that it involves an ‘industrial placement for students in collaboration with/by the school’.

Are you wondering which documents you should include in your portfolio? This should contain a covering letter, in which you explain why you are applying for a vocational training place, an integrated degree course or traineeship in your chosen area at Festo. Please also include your CV and your last four school reports (half-year and end-of-year) if you are applying for a vocational training or an integrated degree course.

If you are attending a so-called Gemeinschaftsschule school, it is imperative that your parents clarify with the school in good time that you will get a certificate with school grades from Year 8 onwards. Because to apply, you need a certificate with grades.

If you’re applying for a work experience placement, then we only need to see your two most recent reports. If you have already done a traineeship or have other evidence of your suitability for the placement, please include this.

For vocational training or an integrated degree course you can apply from around June every year, to start at the beginning of the following year. Our annual Applicants' Night marks the start of the selection process for the following year. Below we have put together an overview of the positions for which you can currently apply. If the study option that you’re interested in is showing an ‘full’ status, we are no longer accepting applications for this position.
