Your dual study program. Our path. Business Informatics

The easiest way is via our online job portal – your application will be submitted directly to us, and we will get back to you as quickly as possible.

Already know what you’re interested in? Here you’ll find all open positions for the upcoming academic and apprenticeship year.

Still exploring your options? Here’s an overview of all apprenticeships and dual study programs at d&b.

You can apply from November of the previous year for a start in September. Our tip: applying early gives you the widest choice of opportunities.

(1) Cover letter

This is your opportunity to show who you are and why you want to start your apprenticeship or dual study program at d&b. For example, tell us:

• which school you attend and the qualification you are aiming for
• which subjects you are particularly strong in and what interests you
• how you became aware of your chosen apprenticeship or study program
• what motivates you to join d&b
• anything else you would like us to know about you

(2) CV (Curriculum Vitae)

Your CV provides a concise overview of you – both professionally and personally:

• personal details
• educational background
• language and software skills
• initial practical experience (e.g. internships, student jobs)
• special interests, hobbies, and sports
• if applicable, social engagement (e.g. voluntary work)
• if applicable, awards or participation in competitions

(3) Certificates and supporting documents

Please upload your three most recent school reports as digital documents. You are also welcome to include additional certificates or supporting documents.

Both options are fine. Please ensure that each file does not exceed 5 MB. We recommend uploading your documents in PDF format.

Not at all. A year abroad, traveling, internships, or personal projects – everything you’ve experienced during this time provides valuable insights and helps shape who you are today. Tell us how you used your orientation phase or “gap year.” We’re listening.

Our application process at d&b consists of three steps:

(1) Initial digital interview

Our first meeting takes place as a video interview. Usually, two people will join: someone from Talent Acquisition and someone from your functional area. We want to get to know who you are, what drives you, and which questions you have for us. Whether it’s about the structure of your apprenticeship, the different stages of your dual study program, or d&b itself – this is your space to ask anything.

(2) In-person meeting

If we feel there’s a strong match, we’ll invite you to Backnang. On site, you’ll meet your HR contact, your trainers, and your future manager. We want to experience you in person and learn more about your motivation, your goals, and your energy. Whenever possible, we’ll also give you a tour of our premises and introduce you to your future team.

(3) Clear decision

Are we a good fit? Is d&b the right place for your apprenticeship or dual study program? After the personal meeting, all parties involved will make a decision – and we will get back to you promptly with an acceptance or rejection: clear, direct, and respectful.

It’s simple: you will receive a link via email that allows you to join the video call directly in your browser. No account or special software is required.

Please make sure your microphone and camera are working. A computer or laptop is recommended for optimal audio and video quality. Smartphones can also be used, but quality may be more limited.

We’re looking forward to meeting you – which is why several colleagues would like to get to know you in person: your future trainer, your future manager, and a contact person from our HR team.

If time allows, we’ll also introduce you to your team.

At d&b, we value diversity. Come as you feel comfortable – while considering your role and the occasion. For example: comfortable clothing when setting up events, more formal attire for customer presentations.

For interviews, we recommend smart casual: polished, professional, and authentically you.
