His desire for a professional future initially led Daniel to Germany. He worked in a restaurant there and at the same time attended an intensive German course. "I had already realised in Gran Canaria how important foreign languages are. Especially German."
When he came across LKW WALTER on the internet, the move to Kufstein was only a Skype call and a personal interview away. "In Spain, it is difficult for young people to have a career due to economic reasons. At LKW WALTER, right from the start, I felt like I had every opportunity."
In the meantime, the girlfriend of this enthusiastic basketball player in the "Kufstein Towers" team, and Real Betis fan, is also part of the LKW WALTER family, working as a Transport Manager, where many Spaniards feel at home.
"In the WALTER GROUP I felt like I had every opportunity, right from the start."
Daniel G., Division Manager who already feels at home in Kufstein
As Daniel was studying Business at the University of Gran Canaria, he of course couldn't have known that in the not too distant future he would land a job at the WALTER GROUP in Kufstein with his fellow student and girlfriend. So how did it happen?
"Also because so many Spaniards work here, I feel at home."
Daniel's personal recommendation:
My tip for my young compatriots: If you go abroad, I can really recommend the WALTER GROUP. Here, you don't just have great career opportunities. You are also valued as a human being and can enjoy the security of a responsible employer.

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.
