Dual study with Milestone Consult

As a Lower Rhine-based consulting firm for application development, training and supporting young talent is an essential part of our social responsibility.

The combination of IHK training and bachelor's degree

The combination of a proven IHK training as an IT specialist and a bachelor's degree in IT or media IT is a sophisticated model with the aim of optimally combining studies and vocational training. In practice, this means for our students an intensive combination of theoretical training at the university and practical work on projects at Milestone Consult. Classes at the university take place three days a week with the aim of learning the theoretical basics. On the remaining 2 days per week, the dual students work on specific projects in our office in Kamp-Lintfort in order to put what they have learned into practice.

Our reasons

In order to fully exploit these technologies, we first started an intensive research phase in the area of ​​generative AI. This fits perfectly with our core competencies in software development and data analytics – two areas in which we have been active since the early 1990s. Our experience, which has grown over three decades, has given us the knowledge and flexibility to actively shape technological change.

Thanks to this solid basis and our continuous innovation work, we were finally able to successfully implement the first chatbot projects with generative AI for our customers. Today we offer comprehensive solutions that combine both technological precision and a deep understanding of our customers' challenges and goals - and together we are developing the next generation of customer communication.

Secure finances

This model is also financially interesting for our dual students. In addition to a fixed salary, Milestone Consult also covers the entire tuition fees, enabling students to fully concentrate on their career entry and their training without having to worry about rent etc.

Active support

In addition to these major advantages, this combined educational program also requires a high level of commitment and personal responsibility on the part of the dual students. Choosing your first employer is always a difficult and important choice, regardless of whether it is for people starting their careers after completing their studies or for dual students who are just starting their studies. We are aware that not every student can meet these requirements from day 1. We therefore take the responsibility for our dual students very seriously and, in addition to our proven training concept, we also offer extensive advice regarding the further training and study process. For example, we support students in all ways through effective learning programs, relevant exercises and a strong organization. The commitment and passion of our dual students and trainees shows us that we are on the right track here - and will remain so!
