KEB’s team includes over seventy apprentices and students from very different areas. KEB has over 1,550 employees around the world, and roughly 1,000 of us work at the Barntrup headquarters alone. Lots of them did an apprenticeship or a work/study programme, or both, with us.
Ever since the company was founded in 1972, everything has revolved around starting, stopping, positioning, controlling and regulating complex machines and systems. What does that mean in practice? Well, for example, our products ensure that you can ride smoothly in a lift, and get in and out of it safely. We also manufacture products for sectors such as the wood processing industry, textiles, plastics, e-mobility and wind energy.
Are you looking for variety? We can offer you a varied apprenticeship in different areas. As an employer, we know how important a top-class apprenticeship is. The numerous awards that we have won confirm that we train our apprentices to a high level. Since 2021, we have been known as the “Best Place to Learn”. In the past, our apprentices have repeatedly won titles such as “Best Apprentice in the State of North Rhine-Westphalia” and “Chamber’s Best Apprentice” from the Lippe-Detmold Chamber of Industry and Commerce.

Would you find a purely academic course too dull, but at the same time would you miss pouring over books if you did a traditional apprenticeship? A work/study programme could be the right solution for you. Our work/study programme offers the possibility to combine theory and practice. You can apply the knowledge acquired from your studies directly at the company. You will also be given the opportunity to take part in practical projects at the university. The work/study programme opens up a broad range of development opportunities at KEB, both during and after your studies. We think it is very important to support our individual students and offer a fine balance of theory and practice.
