Trainee Program

Thank you very much for your interest in the IG Metall trainee program.

Due to the high number of applications and limited capacity, we are unfortunately unable to consider any further applications this year. We expect to issue another central call for applications for the 2027 Trainee Program in the summer of 2026.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our colleague Ebru Vural.
