To do an apprenticeship at the BMW Group plant in Steyr, you must have successfully completed compulsory school, usually the 9th grade.
In principle, your certificate alone is not the deciding factor in our decision to hire an apprentice. Technical interest, ability to work in a team and, above all, your commitment are particularly important to us. However, it turns out that mathematical understanding is a basic requirement, especially in professions such as electrical engineering and mechatronics.
You can find the application link on our website. Applications are only accepted online. If we are convinced by your application you will be invited to the selection day.
On the selection day, you can expect practical tasks, an online test and an interview with our training team so that we can get to know you even better.
There is an application link for apprenticeships at BMW. Here you have the option of selecting up to 3 desired apprenticeships, so you only have to apply once.
We process all applications immediately after receiving them and try to respond as quickly as possible. Since the selection days usually start in November, we are usually unable to respond before then. Please understand this. We assure you that we will give feedback for every application!
Just be yourself, for example , choose an outfit that suits you but is also appropriate for an interview. Find out about our company beforehand and whether you can identify with us. The most important thing is: Have fun, we look forward to talking to you!
After we have received your application documents, our recruiting team checks whether all documents are complete (most recent certificates enclosed, all required data available, compulsory school leaving certificate fulfilled). Our department then checks your professional suitability. If your application convinces us, we will invite you to a selection day . These start in November and are divided according to apprenticeships. It is therefore possible that someone who applied later will be invited to the selection day before you. At the end of the application process, there are trial days.
If you have sent us an application and you have convinced us in the interview, then the last step is to come and see us for a trial day. This is the only way you can be sure whether the apprenticeship is right for you. During the trial day you can familiarise yourself with our apprenticeships. You also have the chance to meet our apprentices and trainers You can also come and see us during your school time as part of our practical work experience days. Our trial days are always on Monday and Tuesday or Wednesday and Thursday.
Switching from one apprenticeship to another in a technical field is generally possible. We are happy to examine each individual case and advise you on this.
We offer an "apprenticeship with Matura" in our factory starting from the second year of the apprenticeship. We support you by holding the training courses directly in our factory so that you can go straight from your apprenticeship to teaching. The courses are also completely free of charge for you.
