We are looking for you!

If you have successfully completed your Abitur or Fachhochschulreife and would like to do an apprenticeship in wholesale and foreign trade management specializing in foreign trade (m/f/d), then you’ve come to the right place.

As a renowned Hamburg-based trading company with a wide reach in the chemical industry, we are always on the lookout for young and talented junior staff.
We offer you the opportunity to take on responsibility from day one of your training. In our purchasing and sales teams, you will be jointly responsible for the success of our company and will be guided in your development by our colleagues.
As part of your training, you will pass through all departments of the company and learn the trade of a business administrator from the ground up. You will learn everything you need to be successful in your future career, from making phone calls and writing e-mails to preparing calculations and quotations, attending trade fairs and traveling to our customers. The training is carried out by trainers certified by the Chamber of Commerce, who will help you to expand your professional, interpersonal and technical skills. After the apprenticeship, Alfred Kochen usually takes on its apprentices. Many former apprentices currently work for us, including our Managing Director Mr. Angermeyer.

Testimonials

In 2015, at the age of 19, I started my apprenticeship as a foreign trade manager, which I completed in 2017 in a shortened form. During my training, great emphasis was placed on independence and an open manner right from the start, which suited me very well. The apprenticeship at Alfred Kochen not only helped me develop professionally, but above all interpersonally and personally. Apprentices are sought after here so that they can stay on after their apprenticeship and use the skills they have learned to benefit the company. To this day, I am very happy to have stayed on after my apprenticeship!

since 2017 as Sales Manager in the field of paints and construction chemicals

At the age of 18, I moved from my home country of Namibia to the Hanseatic city to start my apprenticeship as a wholesale and foreign trade clerk at Alfred Kochen GmbH & Co KG. During my shortened training period of two years, I went through the various departments from sales to shipping to accounting and was able to get a good idea of which area I would like to work in after my training period. Thanks to the collegial atmosphere at Alfred Kochen, everyone was there to help and advise me during my training period and I was delighted to be taken on after my training.
