Apprenticeship in information technology application development

Training as an IT specialist in application development gives you excellent career prospects. Also here.

After a successful final exam, a permanent position is in sight. Depending on the area in which you complete your training with us, you will become a professional in the creation, expansion, and maintenance of e-business solutions or ERP systems.

In short

Language meets technology

Application developers master programming languages like other people master foreign languages. Our specialists use them to develop online stores or ERP systems, for example. To this end, they are also very familiar with the underlying processes in companies.

Take a look at the contents of our training and check out what else you will learn.

Develop software

During your apprenticeship, you will learn how to develop and, above all, expand software. Your job is to program the software so that the customer can work with it in the best possible way and the system runs reliably. To do this, you will regularly coordinate with your colleagues and clients. You will learn how to take specifications, convert them into code and present your ideas convincingly. You will also learn to program applications in such a way that users can operate them as easily as possible.

As soon as you have finished programming your application, it’s time to test, test, test. Because you are responsible for ensuring that your application works on every operating system and end device, that the interfaces to external systems run smoothly and that data appears where it should. Only when the application has been thoroughly tested and all errors have been rectified will it be introduced to the customer. As part of your training, you will not only test and improve systems developed by your team, but also existing applications that your customer company is already using.

Project organization

Every project is based on a quotation. Important questions need to be clarified in advance: How long will it take to implement the customer’s wishes? How many employees will be involved? And above all: what costs will the customer incur? Clarifying these questions also helps to ensure that the project runs smoothly later on. As an apprentice, you will be involved in the preparation of quotations and learn what to look out for.

Soft skills

You will always work in a team or in different teams and will also have your first contact with customers during your training. Your soft skills, i.e. your personal skills, are therefore at least as important to us as your technical training. Soft skills include, for example, critical thinking, constructive expression of opinion, flexibility, resilience and tolerance.

Emphases of your training

Which is your preference? Online store or process automation? We develop solutions for our customers based on SAP and Microsoft technologies. The two market leaders’ software differs greatly, also in the programming languages. Therefore, we have two specialized departments.

Arineo training content

You will begin your training in application development alongside all apprentices. During this time, you will learn the fundamentals of software development using Java and, with the other apprentices, create concepts to bring your ideas to life. Once you’ve gained your first programming experience, you’ll move on to the specialized areas of Microsoft Dynamics and Customer Experience. This will give you valuable insights into both fields and help you understand how development works at Arineo.

After about four months, you will have learned various programming languages, development concepts, and processes. This is when you will begin to specialize in your specific area. Throughout the three-year apprenticeship, you’ll continue interacting with apprentices from other departments through joint training sessions, team events, or cross-departmental projects.
