We believe in nurturing talent and providing real-world experiences that pave the way for future success. Our Future Stars Academy in Germany is an early career program developed by Maersk Talent & Development, focusing on apprenticeships and dual study opportunities. The academy is designed to offer students a unique combination of academic learning and practical work experience. After 2.5 to 3 years, the participants graduate with either a bachelor's degree or an officially recognized professional certificate in Germany.
To give you a better understanding of what it's like to be part of this Academy, we've gathered insights from some of our current and past apprentices and dual students. They share their motivations, experiences, and the invaluable lessons they've learned along the way.

Why did you choose to join the Dual Study program?
I chose a Dual Study program because it allowed me to have a balanced learning approach, combining practical experience with pursuing my academic goals. Furthermore, it will ease my entry into professional life after my studies since students from the program are usually offered a job in their cooperating firm.

What was your biggest learning?
The Dual Study program provides a perfect blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. Working at Maersk provides valuable insights and benefits from day one. Rotating through different departments deepens your understanding of the business, the company, and helps you build a strong network.

What does a Dual Study program entail?
A Dual Study program combines practical work experience with an academic education at university. Participants switch between work and attending classes every three months and are therefore able to gain working skills and a bachelor’s degree simultaneously.
