The Daimler Student Partnership program is primarily aimed at students studying for technology-based degrees and, to a lesser extent, students studying business-related subjects, who have distinguished themselves through excellent academic achievements and who are working towards a career entry with the Daimler Group. In order to progress through the program, you should have approximately 1.5 years of study to complete. 
Previous work experience with Daimler is an advantage but not a prerequisite for acceptance onto the program.

The Daimler Student Partnership program is aimed at students who still have about 1.5 years of study ahead of them.

No, applications are accepted throughout the year.

You will not be included in the selection process more than 2 years before the end of your studies. However, until that time we will remain in contact with candidates who submit their applications earlier.

Your department can recommend you to the program via the Daimler employee portal. The recommendation form is available under Company > Organization > Divisions & Company-wide Functions > Functional Departments > HR Topics > Entry into employment and career > Daimler Student Partnership

It is useful if you have already gained work experience with Daimler. However, students who hold key qualifications that are relevant to the Group’s activities are accepted without previous Daimler experience. It is very important that you plan on completing a practical assignment with Daimler before you finish your studies.

If you are interested in the program, you can contact us at the following email address: student.partnership@daimler.com.

The application documents should include a cover letter, a CV detailing your complete career history, a current transcript of your grades and all relevant references.

There is no limit on the number of candidates accepted. All candidates who complete the selection process successfully will be accepted onto the program.

After we have checked your application documents, there are three stages you need to complete. First, you have to pass an online test. After that we will conduct a telephone interview with you to allow us to get to know you better. The third and final stage consists of a selection day. At the end of the selection day we will inform you of our final decision as to whether you have been accepted onto the program.

Daimler establishes a career development partnership with the program participants in order to provide students with individual support and personal advice on their career development. The aim of the program is to encourage participants to apply for a job with us or to apply for a place on our Group-wide CAReer trainee program. The program consists of the following key elements: 

• Group-wide internship opportunities are offered to participants during the program to allow them to get to know different business units within the company and for them to gain experience of other cultures.
• A mentor (manager in the Daimler Group) advises and helps participants with all aspects of studying and starting work at the company (professional, methodological and personal).
• Participants are also allocated a local HR representative who works with the participant’s mentor to create an individual development plan for the participant.
• The program offers a range of activities such as training courses for personal and professional development.
• The participants have the opportunity to network and exchange knowledge with other participants, mentors, and HR coaches at various events and via a tandem partner (former dsp member).
