Kaufland Romania is pioneering a unique educational model with its dual study programs, designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and practical, paid employment. For the upcoming 2026-2027 academic year, the company is expanding its successful collaboration with the "1 Decembrie 1918" University of Alba Iulia, offering 41 positions across three specialized fields.

This initiative directly addresses the common post-graduation dilemma: what comes next? Students enrolled in Kaufland's dual programs begin building their professional careers from day one, balancing university coursework with hands-on experience in Kaufland's stores and logistics centers. This approach ensures graduates are not only academically prepared but also possess valuable real-world skills and industry knowledge.

The program offers substantial financial support, with monthly scholarships ranging from 1,500 to 2,000 lei, depending on the specialization. Furthermore, students gain recognized professional experience throughout their studies. Upon successful completion, they are offered roles such as Assistant Manager, Store Manager, or specialists in Logistics, providing a clear and secure career path within the company. This forward-thinking educational partnership underscores Kaufland's commitment to nurturing future talent and investing in Romania's workforce.

The growing interest of young people in dual study programs has led us to expand the educational offer, in partnership with the "1 Decembrie 1918" University of Alba Iulia, to other specializations. This development comes after positive feedback from students and our colleagues and gives us confidence that it can be a successful model, useful for young people, but also for us as an employer involved in the development of future professionals.
