What our trainees say:

I decided on a dual course of education in business information systems because I wanted to get to know computer-supported business processes. What I like about the practical part of my training is that, in addition to receiving instructions, I get to work on my own in responsible areas – and I get to do it in a very collegial atmosphere. Another thing I like about my employer, WAHL GmbH, is that it offers many benefits all the time.
