Sanlucar welcomes the Promotion 2021 of the Dual Training in wholesale and foreign trade management

Students of the third promotion in Spain of Dual Vocational Training in Wholesale and Foreign Trade Management have already started their course. The educational program imported to Spain in 2019 by SanLucar and the German Business School- FEDA Madrid has aroused great interest among young talents due to the high employability rate offered by this training model imported from Germany.


Dual vocational training is a 2-year program that alternates theory and practice, with the aim of quickly connecting students with the world of business. The apprentices receive a salary throughout their degree, while they are trained according to the needs of the companies, they are doing their internships with, which facilitates their future recruitment.

This is the case of 4 students of the first promotion of the Dual Training who did their internships at SanLucar. After their graduation last June, all of them are now part of SanLucar headquarters staff in Spain, occupying different positions in the departments of Human Resources, Logistics, Sales and Purchasing.

"We could not be more satisfied with the outcome of the first edition of our Dual Training program. On the one side, it is certainly a great springboard for young people who want to enter the labour market as soon as possible, on the other hand, companies such as  SanLucar, taking on young apprentices as trainees, have the opportunity  to create their pool of skilled professionals in key areas of the daily operations", explains Mandy Zwahlen, Sales Training Manager at SanLucar.
