Before you apply

What is hard about this route

This is the most competitive sector we place into, because German school-leavers want these positions too. A profile with no technical evidence behind it is unlikely to get interviews, and we will say so at assessment rather than after you have paid.

What you will be paid

We do not publish a figure for this sector, because no primary source reports reliable per-sector apprentice pay. Nationally the statutory minimum is €724 a month in 2026, and the first-year average among collectively bargained employers was €1,117 in 2025.

Which of those you get depends on whether your employer is bound by a collective agreement. We check that and tell you before you sign anything.
