The city of Pforzheim belongs to the most important business locations in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg. With almost 250 years of tradition in the jewellery and watch-making industry Pforzheim has become an economically strong location in the precision technology and creative industries branches during the last decades. Mechanical engineering and tool construction, medical and dental (micro) technology and aerospace are just some of the branches which have also established themselves in the “small” city on the edge of the Black Forest.

Pforzheim’s competencies as a gold, high-tech and design city make it a modern and forward looking service sector location which has worldwide business relations at its command.

SIM Europe works with companies from all branches, ranging from a family business with five employees to a large concern with several hundred. That’s why we can find the ideal place of action for each profession: manufacturing, office work, development, logistics, sales, service, trade, craftsmanship and also agriculture.

Our network also consists of companies in the public sector. The traineeship can take place in the city administration, municipal utilities, museums, youth centres, kindergartens, social and other municipal institutions.

The non-profit field in Pforzheim is multi-facetted and enables us to offer traineeships in old people’s homes, youth organisations, sports clubs, sheltered workshops, cultural workshops, advice centres and many other non-commercial organisations.

The appropriate company is carefully chosen on the basis of the trainee’s vocational skills and expectations. A traineeship plan is determined together with the company which guarantees the usage of existing professional knowledge and the conveyance of new experiences. An experienced member of the company’s staff takes care of the trainee and helps with the integration at their workplace. 

During the traineeship SIM Europe is permanently in touch with the company and the trainee to ensure the training success. Possible problems will be solved immediately by SIM Europe’s supporting staff.
