Apprenticeship as a Media Technologist in Printing (m/f/d)

During your apprenticeship as a Media Technologist in printing, you will become a specialist in modern printing processes.

You will plan print jobs, set up machines and ensure that everything runs smoothly from the initial dataset to the finished product. In the process, you will become familiar with various printing technologies, from digital printing and web-offset printing through to rotogravure. You will work on colour management, quality control and the production of printing plates. You will also operate state-of-the-art systems, monitor production processes and focus on efficient and precise manufacturing.

Topics such as occupational safety, environmental protection and cost-effectiveness are also part of your daily routine. Teamwork, communication and documenting your work will prepare you for responsible roles in the print production of tomorrow.

The apprenticeship begins annually on 1 September, and the training duration is usually three years. It kicks off with a joint onboarding week in Berlin. Throughout your apprenticeship, you will regularly alternate between practical training and vocational school.

At the start, you will learn the basics, such as how to work with printing presses and printing plates, as well as different processes such as digital printing or web-offset printing. Over time, you will gain real-world experience in production areas such as postage and revenue stamps, and eventually in banknote and ID production.

At the same time, you will gain theoretical knowledge of printing processes, materials and colour management. Our training teams provide you with professional and personal support throughout your apprenticeship.

Applications are submitted online via our careers portal. Once we have received your application, you will take an online selection test. If you are successful, you will be invited to an interview.

If everything is a good fit, you will become part of the Bundesdruckerei Group!
