"That was great for me because I was able to gain a comprehensive insight into the entire processes and the individual teams at the department.”
After the first six months she moved to Singapore where she worked in a business analyst team on a land transportation IT project. 
On one hand, Jördis is sorry to leave the departments after every rotation, though she still keeps close contact with Singapore. Her colleagues keep her up to date on the project’s progress. So, she still feels like she’s part of it. On the other hand, every rotation allows deeper knowledge of the world of logistics.

One of her colleagues, for example, started in Digital Solutions and is now working in Air Freight. Another colleague started in finance and stayed in this department.
Another benefit are the partners of the program: "Our mentors and trainee contacts are very open, and I can talk to them at any time. They know the entire DB Schenker network and make sure that we are in good hands with our interests."

DB Schenker is international

Working internationally plays a big role in DB Schenker’s trainee program. After Singapore and two rotations in Essen, Jördis will go to Canada for three further months to continue working on data analyses for the Connect 4.0 Ocean project.
She is not worried about major changes. Until today, she has found the Schenker Spirit in all departments.
A good team spirit is particularly important to her. "Wherever I have been so far, people have been extremely helpful. I never had to master a task by myself, and if there is a problem, we will work together to find a solution.

Jördis is very impressed by the after-work activities at DB Schenker: starting from ice skating in winter to the company‘s race in summer. It's not just the departments’ athletes who run - everyone is there. „We run together, we all stick together, and we also belong together. These are very special moments for me."
