Welcome to the team!
The quality of our work is particularly important to us. We owe this not only to our customers—doing top-notch work is also much more enjoyable for us. At MHC Mobility, more than 300 experts in business, automotive technology, and IT are currently working on mobility solutions for our customers—an exciting professional environment, especially since so much is changing here right now. As a forward-looking company, we’re committed to social responsibility by investing in the skilled workers of tomorrow.
Eight new apprentices have now begun their training at MHC Mobility —at our locations in Bockel, Frankfurt, Dortmund, and Leipzig—in the fields of automotive mechatronics and office management. This brings the total number of trainees we are supporting on their path to a professional career to 21: 15 office management trainees and six aspiring automotive mechatronics technicians. Most of them are training at our headquarters in Bockel—where there are currently nine business and two technical trainees.
A team that paves the way
What matters to us: Behind every successful start is a team that cares. At our headquarters in Bockel, Melissa, Inga, Olimpia, and Eileen mentor the new business administration trainees. They come from sales, purchasing, reception, and logistics—and handle the training responsibilities in addition to their regular daily work. At our other locations and in the workshop, our trainees are also supported with great dedication by experienced colleagues from their respective teams.
The training team’s responsibilities go far beyond simply checking the report book on a regular basis: The trainers organize and attend career fairs, draft job postings, conduct interviews, supervise interns and trial workdays, and regularly check in with the trainees. They also provide support with school assignments and exam preparation—preferably using real-world examples. There’s a particularly heavy workload during the application phase and at the start of the training program in the summer. Just as important: they’re there when trainees feel uncertain or when things aren’t quite running smoothly. After all, even for young people and those just starting their careers, things don’t always go according to plan.
Focus on Variety
The training program places a strong emphasis on variety. It is important to us that our trainees gain as broad a foundation as possible and are prepared for a wide range of job roles. During their apprenticeship, all trainees rotate through the company’s core departments. They can explicitly express their preference for certain departments, and many find the area that best suits their interests and strengths through this process.
At our company, responsibility doesn’t start only after the final exam: Our trainees take on their own projects early on, such as organizing Boys’ Day and Girls’ Day. Those who want to look beyond their own location can gain hands-on experience at another MHC Mobility location as part of a trainee exchange program. Once a year, all trainees from across our locations also come together for a joint trainee event. And because the best way to learn collaboration is through dialogue, feedback plays a key role here: both positive and constructive feedback are taken seriously and discussed together—in both directions.
Perspective and Cohesion
The results show that our training program has a lasting impact: Many of our trainees complete their training early, and their final grades average better than a 2.4. Above all, however, this is evident when we look at our employees: Numerous colleagues began their careers with us as trainees and have remained loyal to the company to this day. The best example works in our sales department: Hans-Peter Ringen once completed his training with us—and has now been with us for over 50 years. For us, this is a clear sign of long-term prospects and team spirit. And this consistency also pays off for our customers, for example in the high quality of advice and service provided by our employees.
We look forward to actively supporting our new apprentices on their journey—and to shaping the future of mobility together with them. A warm welcome to our eight new recruits: We’re glad you’re here!

Each of our locations has its own unique history—and is shaped above all by the people who work there.
We share these stories on our blog. This time, we’re heading to Großbeeren, just outside Berlin. Branch Manager Christian Cordts talks about a location that the team built up together.
MHC Mobility Berlin – Growing Together
Our story began around 2015 in Berlin-Marzahn. Back then, we started out under the name “Maske” with just a few vehicles and three colleagues at a partner workshop. So while the conditions back then were rather modest, our plans and the team’s motivation were all the greater. In 2017, we moved to Großbeeren, our current location. I was there from the very beginning and helped shape the setup right from the start. Together, we made sure that, step by step, the new space became a fully functional facility.
As early as the fall of 2017, the team gained new members: Kai Zilger took on office duties, Tobias Schwabe joined as an automotive mechatronics technician, and Mathias Wegner handled vehicle reconditioning. More colleagues and temporary staff followed. As the team grew, so did the equipment. Lifting platforms, workshop stations, and a dedicated vehicle preparation area were added.
Team spirit was great right from the start: Many colleagues already knew each other from previous jobs or through personal connections. Positive experiences were shared, and new team members were personally recommended. Over the years, this has resulted in a team that can rely on one another and works together. Today, twelve colleagues work at the site. We are a small, close-knit team with flat hierarchies and a strong sense of camaraderie.
We keep a lot of things here at home.
Our goal is to complete as much work as possible right on-site. Our workshop team handles minor repairs themselves. We also handle vehicle detailing and decal application in-house in Großbeeren. There’s always plenty going on: Every month, we handle around 250 to 350. Workshop orders on average, and prepare about 40 new vehicles for delivery. In addition , we handle spontaneous customer inquiries, to which we respond as quickly and flexibly as possible.
We also cover a large area logistically. Our full-time driver regularly travels throughout the entire region. Some trips take him as far as the Baltic Sea, and occasionally even as far as Poland. What makes our location special?
It’s clear: the team. Many of us have helped build this location from the very beginning. We know the history, the challenges, and the little stories that make Großbeeren our shared workplace.
Our customers are our top priority.
