Trained assistant for finance and accounting, continues to work after completing apprenticeship
“I started my apprenticeship at RECOM as an assistant for finance and accounting in September 2015 and was warmly welcomed into the RECOM family. In 2016, I started my “Apprenticeship with Matura”, in which I was encouraged to ask my colleagues every query I had, regarding vocational school or the Matura course. I completed my apprenticeship in 2018 and was allowed to continue working at RECOM after my apprenticeship. In the meantime, I have successfully completed both the Matura and the accountancy exam. From then on, I was no longer considered an apprentice and was given my own activities and tasks. Even now, RECOM supports me fully in continuing my education.”

Trained operational logistics clerk, moved to another department within the company after completing apprenticeship
“In September 2015, I started my apprenticeship at RECOM, Gmunden, as an operational logistics clerk. In 2018, I successfully completed my apprenticeship with RECOM and after that, I worked in RECOM’s warehouse for another 2.5 years. Although I was very happy with this experience, I always wanted to work in the office. RECOM honored this wish of mine and gave me the chance to move to the administration team. This change enabled me to learn the work done in the office. I’m happy that I got the opportunity to work in such a great company for so long.”

Apprentice Team Logistic Order Administration
"I started my apprenticeship as an office administrator in September 2022 and am very happy that I chose this path. From my first day, I felt like I was part of the team and was warmly welcomed. My work is very varied, and I get lots of opportunities for various training courses and further education. After a short time, I was assigned my own tasks, which I was able to complete successfully. What I find very remarkable is the cooperation and help that is available in the department/company."
