Graduate Specialist Program
Outstanding expertise is the basis for our innovative developments and the success of Bosch Rexroth. With the Graduate Specialist Program, we will help you to become an expert in your field. You will face challenging tasks, assume professional responsibility, and benefit from our accompanying training concept.
During the Graduate Specialist Programs, you will spend time in relevant specialist departments both in Germany and abroad over a period of 24 months. You will decide on your individual placements together with your mentor. The decision will be based on your background, experience, as well as current projects and topics. Under the guidance of established colleagues, you will gather valuable experience and assume responsibility in various placements at a range of different locations. You will grow in your new tasks, meet people from diverse backgrounds, establish new contacts, and enjoy camaraderie and appreciation. Upon completion of the program, you will commence a challenging technical or project role at Bosch Rexroth.
We offer endless possibilities. The choice is yours!
