Come and meet us.
We are at the vocatium every year. The vocatium is the trade fair for apprenticeships and degree courses in Flensburg (Germany). We will support you in your career choice and will find the right apprenticeship for you. You can talk directly to our apprentices/students and training officers at our stand and find out more about an apprenticeship or dual study programme at ORION.
Dual Study Programme
Ready for the future in theory and in practice.
Is an apprenticeship not enough for you? Is a degree course too theoretical? Then why not combine the advantages of an internationally recognised university degree with a practical apprenticeship at ORION!
The perfect mix for people starting a career: we cooperate with the NORDAKADEMIE in Elmshorn (Germany) for the Dual Study Programme. This private university, which is supported by the business community, stands out above all because of its outstanding study conditions and a high success rate. You will work in the different departments of the company and discover where your personal strengths and interests lie during the practical stages. Nice to know: unlike a conventional degree course, you will earn money at ORION right from the beginning and we also pay your tuition fees with the dual study programme.
The best prospects. You’ll not only have a degree in your pocket, but you’ll also be a skilled professional who has already proven themselves in practice at the end of your dual study programme.
