Graduates at KUKA
KUKA offers graduates a wide range of professional opportunities and challenges. Our many years of experience in the world of automation will stand you in good stead as you start your career as well, because of our extensive technological expertise. At KUKA, graduates are continuously nurtured through qualification measures, individual training, specialist training courses, workshops or language courses.
Working in a familiar atmosphere
With about 12,000 employees worldwide, KUKA offers all the benefits of a major company. At the same time, we have the distinct characteristics of a medium-sized company. This means there is a family-like atmosphere and we have low-peak hierarchies. At KUKA, a high level of trust and pronounced collegiality is the norm. Graduates and job starters in particular are quickly integrated into their teams and supported as best as we can.
Advantages for employees and customers
In addition to the great bandwidth of employment and development options for graduates, we offer all employees scope for their own ideas – for example we give them the opportunity to work on individual projects. Having fun at work is especially important at KUKA. We want you to enjoy coming to work and be proud of your results – in that case, our customers will receive first-class products.
