With some 206 000 employees in 34 countries, Deutsche Telekom is one of the leading telecommunication companies worldwide. Our employees are shaping the digital world of tomorrow, often performing pioneering work.
We constantly monitor the increasing demand for skilled workers, particularly IT and tech experts, and compete for the best talents. Targeted recruitment programs give high school and university students, graduates, and experienced hires a variety of options for immersing themselves in the Magenta world, including apprenticeships, dual study programs, internships, trainee programs, and expert entry. Our development programs are designed to give our employees new prospects at the company. We also get them in shape for the future with a variety of further training options.
We offer our employees a broad, flexible benefits package that lets them shape their careers and personal lives according to their specific needs and achieve their objectives. Examples include flexible working hours, hybrid working models, and part-time employment, as well as lifetime work accounts, risk cover, and support with caregiving for family members. Our mission as a responsible employer also includes fair, competitive remuneration, with options for performance-based variable components, as well as a generous pension scheme. In addition, our “Share2you” program gives employees the option to purchase employee shares at special conditions: when they buy two employee shares, they receive a third one free of charge. Other benefits, such as sustainable mobility solutions and extensive health promotion, round out our offerings. More information is available on our careers website.
We have special offers for career starters, such as the “Start up!” trainee program and the Graduate program at T-Systems. Our Start up! trainees spend 15 to 18 months getting to know the different units at Deutsche Telekom, giving them comprehensive insights into this multinational corporation. The program can be tailored to the needs of the trainee by defining a focus topic. The six to nine-month Graduate program at T-Systems targets recent university graduates and starts in May and October of each year. Participants go through different learning phases and also have exciting, varied practical assignments. We work together with renowned universities to design this program. Mentors support the participants in developing skills that give them ideal preparation to start their careers. On top of that, the reskilling program at our Software Academy, launched in 2022, gives participants the possibility to be trained as a software developer, even without prior IT experience. Our 12-month “DiscoverMINT” (only available in German) orientation program gives young people an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the prospects offered by the digital working world and to find orientation with respect to their career path.
Numerous awards confirm the direction of our HR work.
We also work on promoting STEM competencies outside the company. For instance, T-Systems is a founding partner to 42 Berlin, a coding academy that opened in Berlin in early December 2022. The academy follows an innovative concept that does not involve professors, exams, or lectures. Instead, it creates a framework in which students can develop their own projects, individually and in groups. Age, origin, and previous education are explicitly ignored; everyone gets a chance to start programming.
In order to prepare our employees for the future requirements of the job market and best guarantee their employability, we offer them various development programs to expand their digital capabilities. With the “Explorer journeys,” our employees can pick up basic skills in the areas of data analytics, software development, digital marketing, user experience design (UX design), artificial intelligence (AI), and, as of 2023, cloud and DevOps technologies. The learning journeys are open to both beginners and experts. For example, our global upskilling programs in the areas of data science, data engineering, and data visualization help experts broaden their specialist knowledge. Thanks to retraining programs such as the Junior Software Development Academy, our employees also have the opportunity to develop themselves in an entirely new area – with customer advisors retraining as software developers, for example. As a result, the programs also help us expand our own pool of candidates.
