"At LKW WALTER, interns are treated as equal members of the team."

Eleonora R., From intern to Transport Manager

Born and raised in Sicily, Eleonora studied international relations in Leeds and had realistic propects of an international job in London. Ultimately, however, she opted to work for LKW WALTER in Kufstein - and it's worth finding out why.

One of the reasons was the long-standing partnership that exists between WALTER GROUP and Leeds University. Employees regularly visit the university and talk about what it's like working for the company. This prompted Eleonora to apply for a nine-month internship in Kufstein - and her internship led to a permanent employment. "At LKW WALTER, interns are treated as equal members of the team. You are fully integrated and get to learn an incredible amount in the supplementary courses and seminars as well."

Two things particularly impressed Eleonora: firstly, the variety and dynamics of the job. Secondly, the appreciation of her colleagues and supervisors. “I don't have a lot of professional experience yet, but I'm convinced that there isn't another company quite like this.”

Just a little detail, by the way: today it's Eleonora who presents WALTER GROUP to students at Leeds University.

“I don't think there's another company quite like this.”

Eleonora's personal tip:

From my own experience I'd say that if you're after a highly relevant internship, there is no better option than LKW WALTER. Not only do you get to expand your knowledge and skills, but you get to know yourself better.

What career opportunities do I have as a secondary school graduate or university / university of applied sciences graduate?

Very good ones! In the WALTER GROUP you have every opportunity to start your career. If you come from an educational institute with an economic, linguistic or even technical focus, you can immediately and directly join our business. You can join without industry knowledge in the context of an intensive trainee programme which we call "Train the Winner".

Accompanied by your own coach, you will improve your professional and social skills and continuously grow into your future roles. Because the WALTER GROUP is constantly and sustainably growing, new career opportunities always arise.

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.

The classic apprenticeships such as freight forwarding manager or office clerk are not offered in our company.
