Three students founded SOS in 1987. Today, we’re a team of over 80 people and one of the leading software distributors in the DACH region, with vendors from all over the world in our portfolio.
And you’ll be right in the thick of it: From day one, you’ll work on real deals, talk to vendors from the U.S. or Scandinavia, and manage your own clients. Sound like a lot? It is. But that’s exactly how most of our team leaders got their start, as apprentices.
Trainees are the next generation of our workforce. Through appreciation, support, and respect, we create an environment where young talent can grow and flourish. The first few years are especially crucial. That’s why we offer you:
Working models
30 days of vacation, plus time off on Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve. Flexible work hours, well-equipped workstations, and air-conditioned offices. All apprentices are represented by an elected apprentice representative.
Career development
At SOS, an apprenticeship is the start of a career: 4 out of 5 team leaders started as apprentices at SOS, and over 60% of our Product Champs and Key Account Managers completed their apprenticeships with us. We also offer regular feedback and development meetings, support with vocational school, the option to shorten the apprenticeship — and a 98 percent retention rate.
Celebrating together
Summer parties, office breakfasts, after-work events, conference visits, and team events.
Corporate Benefits
Paid preparatory course for the final exam, bike leasing, gym membership (Wellpass).
Food and beverages
Coffee, tea, cold drinks, juices, and fresh fruit for an energy boost throughout the day.

Here’s what you need to do if you’d like to start your apprenticeship with us:
Upload your application documents. Tip: Make sure they’re complete. It will take us about two weeks to review them.
The focus here is on getting to know each other.
Tip: Think about in advance what you want to know about us.
Get a feel for what a typical workday is like here. Tip: Feel free to pepper us with your questions. We’re just waiting for them.
Congratulations! Enjoy this moment, now you can take a breather. Of course, you’ll keep working hard in school.
In any case, the special thing is that you work independently but are still part of a team.

I especially like that the apprentices are integrated into the work processes right from the start and that there is a spirit of good teamwork.

I would start the apprenticeship again at any time because I simply like the environment, the team spirit and the atmosphere.

If you are given the opportunity to be taken on right from the start, it simply gives you an incredible amount of security.
