Attractive employer

In an environment characterized by dynamic development, growing requirements and increasing complexity of
technology, products and processes, experienced managers, qualified specialist personnel and ambitious junior staff make a big contribution to achieving the company’s goals with their knowledge, skills, experience and motivation. In addition to traditional and modern means of recruitment, Rheinmetall also relies on its own training and development of junior employees and is also in close contact with universities, colleges and research institutes. This helps us to get to know suitable science, technology and business graduates at an early stage. 
 

Attractive employer for young people – Successful in the competition for skilled workers

Receiving more than 160,000 job applications worldwide in 2022, our company once again proved
itself to be a highly sought-after employer. In addition, 2022 saw us train 412 young people at our German sites alone; the total number of young trainees at all our sites combined was 872. This enabled us to successfully combat the shortage of skilled workers. Another approach we took to combating this imminent shortage was to increase investment in training and university marketing measures and raise our profile at personnel, recruitment and trade fairs, especially those aimed at engineers, IT specialists and soldiers.
