Your training at Sport-Thieme
You can expect a company that thinks sustainably, where training is highly valued. Many of us completed our own training here and are still an important part of the Sport-Thieme team.
From day one, you’ll be actively involved as a team member in a 38.5-hour week with flexible working hours. In many training roles, you’ll have the opportunity to work independently at your own ergonomic workstation with your company laptop. In logistics, you’ll receive your own work materials and have the chance to earn a forklift license.
Our training roles
We offer training in a total of eight different roles. You can find out which of these eight roles are available in the current training year by checking our latest job postings, which are published around mid-August every year. Feel free to take a look and find the training role that suits you – we look forward to hearing from you!
Start your logistics training with us and be fully involved from day one. From goods receipt to shipping, you will experience the entire process in our logistics center firsthand. Your forklift license will be issued within the first few weeks.
During your training, you actively contribute in up to 12 different departments. From purchasing and sales to customer support and ensuring smooth logistics operations, you gain a wide range of insights.
As an IT specialist in application development, you plan and program diverse software solutions – from user-friendly interfaces to customizations in our inventory management system.
In your system integration training, you configure IT systems for different departments. You manage servers, networks, software, and get to know modern tools for cyber security.
As a trainee in marketing communication, you assist your team in planning and implementing creative projects, campaigns, and promotional materials – from the large Sport-Thieme catalog to social media.
From day one, you are involved in designing and conceptualizing our diverse promotional materials. You will become an expert in digital image editing and create content for our online shops and social media, using a modern Apple workstation.

Your benefits during the training
Training with us is more than just standard fare, because: We offer you a range of specific trainee benefits to make your time with us a truly memorable experience. See for yourself!
The trainee trip is a great way to start your apprenticeship. Every August, all trainees and trainers travel to a different location. Team-building and leisure activities help our trainee crew bond quickly.
Looking for an adrenaline rush? At Sport-Thieme, you have the chance to take a voluntary tandem skydive from around 4,000 meters – an unforgettable experience!
Every Thursday, trainees take part in 90 minutes of shared sports activities. You try out different sports and get to know our products better. Trainee sports count as paid working time.
Once a month, trainees meet with the training manager, Nadine, to practice presentations and showcase products or departments. Guest lectures from colleagues provide exciting insights on topics like AI, sustainability, and social media.
In our trainee projects, you take responsibility for exciting initiatives. Previous projects included participation in the Aerie Festival and sustainability-focused activities.
The international internship
Our wholesale and foreign trade trainees have the opportunity to complete a three-week international internship in Ireland through their vocational school. They live with a host family, work at a company, and immerse themselves in Irish daily life and culture.
The internship placements are individually arranged by an organization. In addition to improving English skills and gaining intercultural competencies, this experience also boosts self-confidence. There are numerous opportunities to interact with students from other countries, both at work and during leisure time. With a provided bus ticket, trainees can easily explore the region, and on free weekends, excursions offer a chance to discover the island independently.
It’s a rewarding experience that we highly recommend to all trainees!
Additional benefits
In addition to the benefits specifically offered to trainees, you will also enjoy the general benefits available to all employees. Sport-Thieme offers a wide range of benefits here as well: financial benefits (e.g. 13th salary), free health services (e.g. massage), events like the annual company parties, and much more…
