Orange Future combines learning on the job with theoretical education. Based on a clear rotation plan you will become acquainted with the most different forwarding and logistics areasand get a solid insight into the organisational and administrative units of the company. Simultaneously, you and your colleagues from other branches will participate in courses on specialised topics as well as training sessions, which shall enhance your social competences.

THE PERSPECTIVES – what will come after the programme?
A wide field of activities will be open to you once you have completed this intensive training year. Together with your mentor you will decide what your ideal job within the organisation would be. The portrait of Stefan Klösch, a former participant of the Orange Future programme, which you can find here, will give you some ideas.
