Gioia is someone who prefers to expect little and then be positively surprised if her expectations are surpassed. She remained true to this strategy at LKW WALTER too. However, when she was relatively quickly allowed to participate operationally in France-Czech Republic department, the polyglot (6 languages!) and future Bachelor of Business Administrations graduate was pleasantly surprised. "I have already supported a Division Manager, processed orders and even done some scheduling."
Overall, like most interns, Gioia first moves through different departments and then stays in one of them. In between, there are always very exciting courses. "By the way, it's also great that as an intern here you get a coach who takes care of you 1:1." Gioia wants to work in Sales when she's finished her studies. Regardless of whether she stays with us or chooses a different path: we wish her every success.
"I was allowed to participate operationally from the very beginning!"
Gioia S., Intern with a promising future
When a fellow student at the Lauder Business School told her enthusiastically about his internship at LKW WALTER, Gioia didn't think twice. "I applied spontaneously and, just as spontaneously, LKW WALTER offered me a 6-month internship."
"It's also great that as an intern here you get your own coach."
Gioia's personal recommendation:
I would recommend an internship at LKW WALTER to anyone who really wants to learn and, above all, wants to experience something as well. In addition, everyone is super nice here and you feel appreciated.

What career opportunities do I have as an experienced professional?
Generally professional experience or industry knowledge are not necessary for entry into our operational business. Because we educate new employees as part of our "Train the Winner" trainee programme and we cover both theory and practice. However, there are some areas in which we greatly appreciate relevant experience and previous knowledge. For example, in our IT, Legal or Sales departments, where we can offer (young) professionals attractive career opportunities. Our recommendation: Just take a look at our employment opportunities.
Does the WALTER GROUP offer apprenticeships?
The classic apprenticeships such as freight forwarding manager or office clerk are not offered in our company.
