Internships and student activities
Discover your future - with an internship during school
Would you like to gain a first impression of the world of work? On our school internship, you’ll gain practical experience, learn about different areas of work, and get a realistic insight into everyday working life.

Internship during school term time
Work experience during school term time
We offer school pupils a two-week work experience placement, which usually takes place during school hours. This gives you the opportunity to learn about various roles on the construction site or in the office.
On request, we will be happy to provide you with written feedback for your application portfolio once the internship has ended.
As there is no employment relationship, the internship is unpaid – the focus is on trying things out and gaining initial experience. You are covered by accident insurance throughout the entire internship. -
Internship outside school hours (holiday internship)
You can also complete your internship with us during the holidays or as a bridge between school and apprenticeship. University dropouts looking to change direction are also welcome.
For a holiday internship, you will receive an employment contract and a salary in accordance with the collective agreement. -
Pre-study internship (Germany)
Are you planning to study a course that requires a pre-study internship? In Germany, you can complete this with us. This will allow you to gain valuable practical experience that will prepare you perfectly for your studies.
Getting started whilst you’re studying
There are two types of internships available whilst you’re studying: voluntary and compulsory internship. The benefits for you:
- Potential for a permanent role: Many of our former interns are now permanent employees working in locations around the world.
- Your career continues with us: Following your internship, you can join us as a working student or trainee, for example.
- Gain valuable work experience: This will benefit you when you’re ready to start your career.
- You will receive a salary: As you’ll be working for us, you’ll be paid in line with the current collective agreement.
-
Compulsory internship
This is a fixed part of the study programme and is subject to your university’s requirements – so the duration and timing may vary. During this internship, you will have the opportunity to apply your theoretical knowledge to real-world projects and gain valuable professional experience.
-
Voluntary internship
Here, you decide for yourself how long you’d like to stay. To gain a realistic insight into your potential future career, we recommend a minimum of two to three months. A voluntary work placement is particularly beneficial if you’ve already acquired some theoretical knowledge and now want to put it into practice.
Your role as a working student
As a working student at Zentrale Technik, you will gain practical experience, work directly within the team, and support a variety of projects. You can work up to 20 hours per week, and up to 40 hours during the semester breaks by arrangement.
Requirement: You must be a registered student; further requirements are set out in the relevant job advertisement.
The working student role can also be combined with a final thesis (Bachelor’s or Master’s thesis).
