Apprenticeship as IT Specialist for System Integration

Together with us, ensure the digital future viability of the Bundeswehr. As the primary digitalization partner of the Bundeswehr, we provide stable, secure, and efficient IT services at home and abroad, from basic operations to deployment-adjacent areas, thereby contributing to the continuous increase of the Bundeswehr's leadership and operational capability. With over 8,000 colleagues, we operate and modernize one of the largest and most complex IT infrastructures in Germany. We are looking for responsible IT specialists who want to further develop the Bundeswehr IT out of conviction in challenging digitalization projects and thus contribute to Germany's security. BWI is the IT system house of the Bundeswehr. We operate and modernize the Bundeswehr's IT and ensure that people at many different locations can communicate and work securely with each other – in Germany and also in an international environment. And this is exactly where your apprenticeship becomes special: During your apprenticeship, you have the opportunity to gain international experience and be deployed abroad temporarily. This involves possible stays abroad in which you support the technical on-site service of BWI at the Bundeswehr's foreign offices. You will thus receive a solid IT apprenticeship with experiences that go far beyond the classic apprenticeship routine. As an IT specialist for system integration, you ensure that IT systems function reliably. You plan, install, and operate systems and networks, analyze errors, and find suitable solutions. This way, you develop step by step from an IT-interested junior talent to a sought-after IT professional.
