At Bosch, you will evolve.

We have spent more than 130 years to shape new markets and technology. Just as we have learnt to change, grow & create, so can you — because development knows no boundaries.

More than a job

We‘re interested in developing the ‘whole’ you, not just the ‘9-5’ you, because life is all about balance. There’s plenty of support for your professional and personal development during work hours and a vast range of free and company-funded training courses available to everybody. In our Bosch Training Centre there’s an ‘A,B,C’ of industry-leading training options for all employees, from “Artificial Intelligence” and “Brainstorming” to “Cooperation”. Learning anytime, anywhere is supported with our free licences for online courses from world-renowned institutions. And the cherry on top: if necessary, we also offer financial support for you and your family’s formal education.

Bosch Training Centre

Our Bosch Training Centre is where you can learn about the future technologies, the innovative practices and the leadership skills that will help you evolve and find your place at Bosch. You’ll learn in a practical, professional, academic setting from experts all over the Bosch world and the wider industry. These could take the form of management programs to Master’s degrees, national and international seminars, conferences and evening presentations plus forums for international knowledge transfer — but each one is focussed on you and your own journey of discovery.

Go abroad with us

Our business is global, so we need a confident, global, outward-looking team. We’ve been successfully sending employees around the world for over 100 years with full-service support - for you and your family. We make sure that you and your family are well prepared with ‘look and see’ trips, language study and intercultural training. When you touch down in a new country we‘ll be right by your side; offering personal support, onboarding and local mentoring. There‘s even help with the timely planning of your repatriation, and reintegration support when you return home.

A future built on our past: Our history

A company with a past, a job with a future.

We can only shape tomorrow by building on our shared history. In 1886 Robert Bosch founded the "Workshop for Precision Mechanics and Electrical Engineering" in Stuttgart. This ignited our global organisation. We were shaped by innovation and social commitment from the start. We continue to reinvent and remodel our business, but those foundation stones remain.

Your development

Our business is built on ‘discovery’ so it makes sense that we want every employee to thrive and discover new paths for themselves. It energises you and it improves us. Using standardised processes and instruments allows us to create better training, more interesting work, and deliver life-long learning. Ultimately, it gives us a more innovative team.

We hold transparent competency management information so we can both see where your strengths and opportunities lie.
Regular conversations with your leaders and team help plan your personal and professional futures.
In the ‘MyDevelopment’ Store you can find options for personal development, from networking and coaching to direct training.
In our ‘talent pools’ we prepare experts & leaders for their upcoming tasks. Most of our leaders are developing within Bosch. This gives you the opportunity to grow — beyond business areas, functions or locations.

Diverse careers

New directions, countless roles, an almost infinite number of teams and fascinating projects. Variety really is the spice of life at Bosch. With us, you can develop as an expert, leader, in agile teams or projects, switching functional areas, locations or countries. There are many options open to you and many ways you can define your career. Whichever direction you choose, we‘ll help get you there.
