Apprenticeship at Knüppel

+Which vocational school will I attend if I start an apprenticeship at Knüppel?

That depends on the apprenticeship program you choose. Specialists in wholesale and foreign trade management as well as warehouse logistics specialists attend BBS Münden. IT specialists and media designers attend BBS 2 Göttingen. If you start your apprenticeship at one of our branch locations, the local vocational schools are responsible.

+How many days per week will I be at Knüppel and how many at vocational school?

This depends on the year of training. In the first year, there are two school days per week, while in the second and third years there is typically only one school day per week.

+What does the application process look like?

After you apply, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt. You will then get feedback soon after, possibly including an invitation to an interview. We usually hold one to two interviews, with the training management, HR management, and sometimes representatives from the specialist department. During the second interview, you will usually receive your apprenticeship contract, which you can either sign right away if you are of legal age, or take home for your parents to sign if you are underage. At that point, you’re in! Knüppel takes care of everything else for you, such as registering with the vocational school and the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK).

+Will I receive support if I have a long commute to the training site?

Yes, all apprentices receive a travel allowance from us. The amount depends on the distance of your commute.

+What is the best way to apply?

For advertised positions, we recommend using the online application form, which you will find in the job postings. There, you can also upload your application documents as a file.

Desiccant

+How can I tell if a desiccant is still effective?

Many products are equipped with a color indicator that shows whether the material is already saturated. A color change signals when the desiccant should be replaced.

Our Baleso DIN desiccants each contain a moisture indicator. This way, you can see at a glance whether the desiccant is still active.
With Cargosorb container desiccants, the waterproof, transparent PE film on the back allows for a simple visual check of the granulate’s activity status.

+How long do desiccants remain effective?

The duration of effectiveness depends on the quantity used, relative humidity, temperature, and the application environment. Our Cargosorb container desiccants are designed to provide protection for several weeks, even inside sea containers.
To ensure the right desiccant type and correct amount for the desired transport or storage period, we recommend professional consultation with our packaging experts.

+How do I dispose of desiccants?

DIN desiccant bags that are no longer active can be disposed of with household waste. Container desiccants must be disposed of as hazardous waste.
