Internship at L&S – a look into special machinery manufacturing

Your benefits during your L&S internship

An internship at L&S is not about dully passing the time. We take you seriously from day one and show you how modern special machinery manufacturing works in practice.

01

Real hands-on work instead of just watching

With us, you don't just watch your colleagues over their shoulders. Under safe guidance, you get to pick up tools yourself, inspect components or understand circuits.

02

Find your dream profession

Still unsure whether mechanics, electronics or the commercial side suits you best? Use the internship to experience different departments live and make the perfect decision for your future.

03

A direct ticket to an apprenticeship

With us, a successful internship is the best entry ticket to a subsequent apprenticeship. If the chemistry between us is right, your apprenticeship at L&S is as good as in the bag!

04

Day shift only (no weekends)

Your working hours during the internship are thoroughly regular and family-friendly. You work day shifts only and have the entire weekend off.

05

Well looked after all round

You are a fully-fledged part of the team. During breaks, free hot drinks and water are available to you in our large, modern break room.

What you can try out with us

3 areas – one internship. Find out where you thrive.

3taster areas – mechanics & assembly, electronics & IT or purchasing & organisation. You decide where to take a closer look.

Mechanical area (metalworking & assembly)

You learn how to read technical drawings, work on metal yourself and see how assemblies weighing several tonnes are put together for our special machines.

02

Electronics area (operations technology & IT)

You take a look at how highly complex control cabinets are wired, how electrical measurements are carried out and how hardware and software interact in mechanical engineering.

03

Commercial area (purchasing & organisation)

You take a look behind the scenes of materials management, experience how worldwide supply chains are planned and how modern technical purchasing works.

What you should bring

No prior knowledge needed – just curiosity and a desire for real hands-on experience

Pupil or school leaver

You are still at school (Hauptschule, Realschule, Gymnasium) or have just finished school and are looking for orientation – you are exactly right.

Interest in technology or commerce

You have a strong interest in technology, large machines, electronics or hands-on craft work – or in the commercial side.

Curiosity & team spirit

You are curious, keen to ask questions and to contribute reliably as part of a team – that counts more than grades with us.

Punctuality & reliability

Punctuality and reliability go without saying for you – so that you and the team benefit from each other to the fullest.

Many of our apprentices did an internship with us first. The fastest route to an apprenticeship often runs through our production hall.

Frequently asked questions about the internship

How long does an internship at L&S last?

That depends entirely on you and your school! Typical school internships usually last 1 to 2 weeks. A voluntary internship for orientation (e.g. during the holidays) can be flexibly arranged with us.

What should I wear for the internship?

For the production areas you need sturdy, closed shoes and hard-wearing clothing. We provide the special safety equipment (high-visibility vests, ear protection) free of charge on site, of course.

Can I do an internship even if I'm considering university?

Yes, absolutely! Especially for prospective students of electrical engineering or mechanical engineering, an orientation internship with us offers the perfect opportunity to get to know real-world practice before heading into the lecture hall.
