Your apprenticeship at REWE digital
Would you like to find out if an IT apprenticeship is right for you?
Here, we'll introduce you to our apprenticeship programs.
Apprenticeship as an IT specialist in system integration
As a trainee IT specialist in the field of system integration, you will plan and implement complex IT systems - essentially acting as an IT architect. These systems play a central role in supporting the business processes of REWE digital and all companies within the REWE GROUP. In other words, you’ll ensure that our organization’s digital future runs smoothly.
During your apprenticeship, you’ll work in various departments at REWE digital in Cologne or at one of our logistics locations. Together with your team, you’ll be responsible for the following tasks, among others:
You’ll design, install and maintain networked IT systems from various manufacturers and configure them; you’ll optimize existing systems; and you’ll advise and train REWE GROUP employees.
In addition to your hands-on training with us, you’ll spend two days a week at vocational school. There, you’ll learn everything related to the following areas of focus:
Planning, installation, configuration, commissioning, management and maintenance of networked systems; modification, development and operation of networked systems; recording and resolving malfunctions; implementation of additional services; and everything related to information security.
After three years, you’ll take your final exam at the chamber of industry and commerce (IHK), laying the foundation for excellent career prospects. Together, we’ll make sure you’re fully prepared for it.
We look forward to welcoming you to your Home of IT!

Apprenticeship FAQ
We've answered the questions we're asked most often so that you'll be fully prepared to apply with us. If you still have any questions, please feel free to contact us directly.
How do I apply for an apprenticeship?
You can apply online right away. Just click “Apply Now” on one of our job postings. You’ll then be taken either to the REWE GROUP career portal or directly to the application form. An online assistant will guide you step by step through the process to make sure you don’t miss anything.
Can I apply for multiple jobs at the same time?
It's great that several jobs seem like a good fit for you. However, please apply for each position separately, as different departments or teams are often involved in the selection process. Thank you very much!
What does the online test for applicants to an apprenticeship program look like?
The test takes only about 40–50 minutes and consists of five to seven different modules - depending on the position you’ve applied for. You’ll have five days to complete the test starting from the date you receive the invitation email. You can pause the test after completing each module and resume it at a later time within the allotted period. If you pass the test, we’ll follow up immediately with a phone call to get to know you better.
How can I prepare for the phone interview?
The purpose of the phone call is to get to know each other. During the call, you should introduce yourself and in particular, explain your motivation for applying and why you chose this apprenticeship. But don’t worry: Just be yourself and take the opportunity to ask us any questions you may have. If you need to prepare for a specific topic, you’ll receive information about it via email.
What can I expect on the day of the applicant event?
On the applicant day, we’ll invite you to one of our locations. You don’t need to do much preparation, since you can work through all the exercises right here on-site. However, to make sure you can enjoy the day without stress, you should find out exactly how to get there, where to park, and so on beforehand. It’s best to allow a little extra time in case of traffic jams or train delays. On the day itself, there’s no need to be nervous - everything will be explained to you in detail. Be yourself during the exercises - just as you are in “real life.” That’s the only way we can really get to know you. We look forward to meeting you!
IT training in the age of AI - Is it even worth it anymore?
Absolutely! AI is transforming IT and making in-depth technical expertise more important than ever. During your apprenticeship, you’ll learn the technical fundamentals, gain hands-on experience and discover how to use new technologies effectively and responsibly. This will ensure you’re fully prepared to play an active role in shaping the digital future.
