As an industrial sales clerk, you have a highly varied area of concentration, to which neither the sector of industry nor the size of the company are important. Whether human resources or accounting, materials management, production management or marketing, warehouse, job shop or office – your area of operations is everywhere to be found. As an industrial sales clerk you handle planning and organizational matters (e.g. human resources and production), development and structuring (advertising activities, for example), communication (customer agreements and negotiations, etc.), as well as all the necessary office work (bookkeeping entries, finances, etc.). Since its description was revised in 2002, the occupation of industrial clerk offers a wide range of interesting opportunities. Once you have successfully completed your training, you have various opportunities to further advance your qualifications in the different sectors, both technical and commercial.
