Insights from a suki apprentice

I decided to train as a wholesale and foreign trade merchant at suki because in such a large company you have to go through many departments such as accounting, sales, purchasing and controlling. The wide range of tasks in this job make my daily work very interesting and varied. I really like the fact that I can work independently and that friendly colleagues are available to help me with any questions. - Riana T., Apprentice in wholesale and foreign trade
