Gruner + Jahr's most important asset is its employees. That is why
Gruner + Jahr strives to work with gifted, motivated and exceptionally
well-trained people and then develops and supports journalistic and business talent on all levels. A career at Gruner + Jahr does not just mean climbing a corporate ladder, but rather assuming different tasks that require more responsibility. In doing so, entrepreneurial thinking and action and a high degree of independence are required.

In the past, primarily subject-matter competency ensured personal and corporate success. Now, however, social and emotional competencies are playing an ever more important role. Today mental factors are also decisive in corporate success. That is why Gruner + Jahr supports these so-called soft skills in employees with customized programs for comprehensive
personnel development.

Naturally, you also have the opportunity at Gruner + Jahr to familiarize yourself with the journalism trade in an internship, or you can get a more thorough grounding in this field with a traineeship or at the respected
Henri-Nannen School. Young businesspeople also have the opportunity to start in the business in the advertising or distribution areas, or in an editorial or publisher's office. Gruner + Jahr also offers motivated and interested recent graduates vocational training in the fields of publishing sales, information technology and printing.
