Testimonials
I am currently in training as an office management assistant. During my time so far, I have already been able to gain some practical experience and exciting insights into various areas of responsibility.
My regular tasks include ordering materials, checking the stock of materials and processing incoming and outgoing mail.
A large part of my work takes place in the financial accounting department. There I carry out tasks such as filing, account assignment and posting invoices as well as checking travel expense reports. I have also worked in the assistance department. My tasks there include formatting contracts.
The working atmosphere is very pleasant. I work in a friendly team and feel very comfortable at sequa gGmbH. My colleagues are always ready to help me with questions and support me in learning new tasks with confidence.
Overall, I am very satisfied with my apprenticeship so far and am looking forward to continuing to gain lots of new experiences and deepen my knowledge.
Laziah Baskaran
Apprentice since 2024
My name is Benedikt and I was an apprentice for office management at sequa gGmbH from 2015 to 2018.
In the course of my three-year apprenticeship I passed through all departments of the company. During this time I got to know my field of work in a very practical way and from the very beginning I took on tasks on my own responsibility. In so-called "apprentice interviews" I was able to interview my colleagues in order to gain more insight into the diverse projects at sequa.
My main fields of work were accounting, controlling and assistance. Here I was responsible for a wide variety of tasks ranging from formatting contracts, organising events, booking invoices to auditing travel expense reports. At sequa I was trained fairly and supported on my way: For example, I was allowed to take part in a three-week learning stay in London, where I was able to use and significantly improve my English skills.
After the successful completion of my training, I had the opportunity to support sequa as a junior controller while studying for a B.A. degree in economics. Since 2019 I have been employed as a controller in sequa’s project controlling.

Working at sequa
Fair, social and flexible
Our full-time work week consists of 39 working hours. Part-time employment can be arranged individually, depending on personal circumstances. We do not use time recording systems. All our employees operate on the basis of a “working time on trust” model. The works council represents the interests of our staff. The management and the works council can negotiate works agreements that stipulate identical regulations for all employees. Current works agreements regulate such issues as working hours, partial retirement, information and telecommunication systems, VDU work, one-time payments, further training, feedback interviews, job ticket, salaries.
Strong together
“We achieve our successes together” – this is the guiding principle we have enshrined in sequa’s corporate strategy. Because effective collaboration is our top priority at sequa, we foster a strong team spirit across the entire workforce through regular team-building activities.
Every three years, the works council and management conduct an employee survey to ensure a high level of staff satisfaction. We communicate the results openly to all staff members. We incorporate suggestions and feedback into our ongoing processes.
Our working structure is characterised by specialised teams. Team leaders manage communication with the client. As a rule, each employee belongs to at least two teams. This approach promotes the exchange of knowledge within the company, ensures a greater variety of tasks and makes our employees versatile.
Promoting Development
For all new staff members we organize a thourough induction phase and provide them with a mentor for their first steps in the company. The discussion of individual qualification requirements is an important element of the regular feedback interviews with the line manager.
We cover the costs for further training either in whole or in part, depending on the individual case. The balance on a personal further training account, that is stocked up annually, can be used to finance individual training measures.
