Theory meets practice
University studies and final theses
The best of two worlds
Theoretically a good decision. Practically too: In the Harro work-study program, you gain professional experience and combine your university knowledge with practical work in your field. And you work together with experienced colleagues on exciting projects. Besides study programs with theory at the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University (DHBW) campus, we offer a combination of in-company training and a bachelor program [the Ulm Model]. To ease your career entry, we familiarize you with our machines and technologies at the Harro Academy. Whatever you decide: On graduating, you have every opportunity to develop further at Harro.
Are you studying at a college or university and are you looking to write your final thesis with a strong practical focus or delve deeper into your field of research? Do you want to play an active role during a practical semester with us, or as a student trainee? Then we’re there to support you!
Our additional benefits
Bike leasing
Muscle power instead of CO₂ – for your commute, daily life, and leisure. At Harro, you can lease a bicycle or e-bike under attractive conditions. Thanks to salary conversion, the monthly installments are significantly lower than for leasing privately, and we cover the fully comprehensive insurance.
Development opportunities
When it comes to helping you move forward, we value your active role in shaping your professional and personal development, and in contributing ideas and suggestions in qualification interviews. Together, we’ll find the best approach and the right measures to support your development in a purposeful and long-term way.
Flexible working models
Around 2,200 people work at Harro, so there’s a wide variety of life situations. Thanks to the different part-time working models and remote working options, we work together to find the right model and support everyone in balancing their professional and personal lives.
Supplementary health insurance
Everyone who has been with Harro for three years or more can sign-up for a company-funded supplementary health insurance policy – and we cover the costs. What’s it good for? Improved benefits for vision aid, dental prevention and treatment. And, after ten years of service, this also includes dental prosthetics.
Health
Ergonomic workstations, health courses and sporting activities, motivational presentations on topics such as nutrition and relaxation, and a varied lunch menu at all production sites: Our in-company health management offers many ways to promote a healthy lifestyle and work environment, and sense of teamwork.
Retirement planning
With us, during your working life you can plan for the future and for your standard of living in retirement. With a direct insurance policy as a company pension through salary conversion and capital-building benefits. Either way: We contribute 20% to your retirement plan.
Working time account
Longer parental leave, caring for relatives, sabbaticals, continuing education, or flexible transition into retirement. With the working time account, you can save up time credit or gross pay. During your time out, you stay covered by social security and receive your salary and pension contributions, and have no insurance gaps.
