I started at Drees & Sommer as an intern in the HR department. Now I'm doing my Master's in Innovation Management and have been able to switch to the Innovation Centre at Dreso. I like the fact that I can take on responsibility here and that I am given varied tasks that fit in with the topics of my degree programme.

My internship in Business and Sales Development was the perfect balance between guidance and independent work. Thanks to my great team, I learnt a lot - both professionally and personally. I am now equipped for my professional future.

Development

As you follow your career path, we are constantly at your side with advice and support:

Student mentoring

In addition to handling daily tasks in your own team, students can attend regular training courses to help them get to know the company’s current projects and tools. The training program comprises a range of separate events. These are self-contained and repeat cyclically. This means that students can join the program at any time without missing any of the content. There are also additional special topics that complement the training courses.

Talent program

Students who perform exceptionally during their internship or as a student employee may qualify for Sommer Talent Program. This program supports students from different teams and regional offices throughout their studies. In addition, we offer Talent Program students a wide range of networking opportunities, exclusive insights into our projects, and the opportunity to participate in numerous professional and personal development offerings.
