The Dual Education program based on German learning methods

How we got involved in this

,,This program is a very efficient one and we believe this is where our next store managers or even country managers will come from. The majority of the Rewe Groups’s board members have come from dual education programs, and sooner or later, this will also be the case here. We are proud to be amongst the first to do this in Romania.

Daniel GROSS – Director General, PENNY Market
