IT Specialists create as well as manage IT and telecommunication systems. They determine user requirements, plan and produce operational solutions, and take care of user training and support. They also guarantee efficiency of the client- or user-oriented organisation of projects.
You will become familiar with the following areas, among others:

• System architecture, hardware, and operating systems
• IT and telecommunication products and markets
• Application software, networks, and services
• Creation and management of system solutions
• Programming skills, installation, and configuration
• Team work, communication, and task management

In order for you to get to know and understand all the company’s procedures, you will carry out placements in all the relevant areas. You will learn about all about providing technical advice from our qualified training supervisors. You will be primarily advising J.J. Darboven departments and schooling the users in the implementation of new systems.

You hold at least an intermediate-level high school diploma and have a good grasp of mathematics. Your strong technical understanding and affinity for IT set you apart. You are also quick to grasp and comprehend new concepts. We expect team work, reliability, and a responsible work ethic.

The apprenticeship lasts three years in total, but by producing good academic and professional performances, it is possible for this period to be shortened. The following applies: 

• If you hold an intermediate-level high school diploma (or comparable) the length of the apprenticeship can by shortened by up to 6 months.
• If you hold a technical high school diploma/Abitur (or if you have already completed an apprenticeship), the length of the apprenticeship can be shortened by up to 12 months.

The dual apprenticeship takes place in two locations: at the company and at a vocational school. The lessons at the vocational school are taught in subjects and are bound to the school holiday schedule.

The shortage of manpower has also affected J.J. Darboven. This is why staff development planning is very important to us. We aim to offer long-term employment to qualified employees, which you will have become after successfully completing the apprenticeship. In order to make permanent employment possible we require that the apprenticeship be completed successfully at our company and an appropriate position needs to be vacant at the time.

IT Specialists are wanted both throughout Germany and internationally. You can look forward to an exciting time in your apprenticeship which will provide you with the optimal qualifications for your further professional development. You will benefit from J.J. Darboven’s excellent reputation.
