A total of eleven different training profes-
sions are offered in the duisport Group.
From specialist for port logistics, real estate
agent, IT specialist, timber mechanic to
switchman and locomotive engineer.
Besides classic commercial professions,
the duisport Group has specialized in the
various operational professions in the logi-
stics industry. As the world‘s largest inland
port, there is great demand for well-trained
experts, and, with its wide range of training
opportunities, duisport also focuses on
valuable specialist and niche occupations.
In-house training for a company‘s own
needs is a valuable asset and provides
security, both for the employee and the
employer.
The number of trainees who start at the
Port of Duisburg each year varies. The
record was 21 training positions in 2019.
In 2020, duisport was able to fill 15 new
training positions – a very good result in
a year of global crisis. Not every training
profession is also offered every year, so the
numbers differ slightly from year to year.
In total, approximately 50 employees are
always in training.
Currently, the proportion of female trainees
in the duisport Group is 30.77 percent.
Requirements and opportunities for
employment
Just as the training professions at duisport
vary, so do the respective qualifications and
requirements: From a secondary school
diploma to a high school diploma – the
range is extensive. Even college dropouts or
career changers can apply. duisport is look-
