TRAINEESHIP WITH NOVOMATIC – A REAL STORY OF SUCCESS
NOVOMATIC Holding is one of the largest integrated global gaming companies in the world and, as a producer of high tech gaming equipment and operator of gaming outlets, is aimed at constant balanced growth. Therefore the company has as its focus one of the world’s most dynamic and upcoming industries. Increasingly important, and just as vital as creative gaming ideas and technological innovations in operations are the employees behind those ideas.
To attract highly motivated and qualified people and ensure future executives, NOVOMATIC launched in 2010 a traineeship programme (business, technique, legal & tourism),that is geared to young graduates, who are seeking an opportunity to begin a promising career within a big concern.
NOVOMATIC provides much more than a challenging and exciting work environment. Ambitious talents, who want to get their career started, have to face a variety of tasks and requirements and obtain the chance to prove themselves within the company. Thus NOVOMATIC and its employees are closely related together. What does this mean exactly? To come straight to the point: whatever our trainees do for our brand and our success, they also do for themselves! That’s one key way in which we design our shared future. A future which is characterised by team spirit, further development and individual fulfillment - as well as the chance to grow early into a responsible position.
THE TRAINEE PROGRAMME Catchwords like flexibility, self-confidence
Areas of business: Everything gaming...

Our trainees build awareness of the importance of our
often quoted ‘hands- on-mentality.’
and openness to new things are pre- conditions for our trainee-ship. In 12 months of constant learning and development we strive to prepare our trainees for a responsible position within several departments of the company. In the position of a trainee they must complete demanding practical trainings in different operations (manufacturing, Admiral Sportwetten, Hotel und Tourismus Management GmbH and Novomatic’s Prater casino in Vienna) along with a stay abroad in subsidiary companies to gain intercultural knowledge and experiences.
Furthermore, our trainees build awareness of the importance of our often quoted “hands-on-mentality.” After almost one year training-on-the-job and development, our trainees finish their individual programmes at the Novomatic headquarter in Gumpoldskirchen and become acquainted with different departments, which are assigned by individual, educational background and peculiar interest.
To ensure the best choice of candidates, the selection is based on a multilevel process. Candidates will be selected after an evaluation of the applicant’s qualifications and skills in alignment to the pre-defined profile. Further steps in the whole selection process include a job interview as well as an Assessment Center, where our future workforce has the chance to convince top-class assessors (mostly executive directors and chairmen from NOVOMATIC).
In conclusion it is important to note that 90 per cent of our former trainees are still working for NOVOMATIC and are located all over the world! They have indeed started their stories of success and prosperity!

COULD YOU DESCRIBE THE CORPORATE CULTURE: With roots in land-based gaming, the development and manufacturing of gaming machines is our focus. However, APEX is also a major operator of gaming machines. Thus, we have excellent opportunities for cross-channel learning and experience.
A GREAT PLACE TO WORK BECAUSE: A small and focused management team enables strategies to be implemented quickly. Customer requests can be reacted upon and the rate to market for new technologies is very short. Staff has access to all levels of management – so communication flows quickly. Time to market for new technologies is short.
THE BEST THING ABOUT THE COMPANY: The excitement of being part of a friendly, professional team that not just has a very strong network in the industry but is also very respected for its innovations and service. Employees can look forward to new challenges. For example, we will be introducing major updates on our Quikker electronic card-based table game and the Shuffle King II (electronic card-shuffling machine).
