Why did you choose AGRANA for your apprenticeship?

I imagined the school to be different and therefore I wanted to start an apprenticeship. AGRANA has a good reputation and is located near my hometown.

How did you apply for the internship? How was the application process set up?

I sent my CV to AGRANA, in spring 2013 I was invited to an apprentice test. The test included questions on general knowledge, mathematics and English. After that, I was informed that I had passed the test and was invited to a 2 day “test apprenticeship”. Then the apprenticeship contract was signed and I started the apprenticeship as Industrial Business Management Assistant on 1 August 2013.
