The company plays a key role not only in providing stable jobs but also in advancing the domestic labour market and training the professionals of the future.<\/p>\n<p><strong>First steps into a trade \u2013 dual vocational training at SPAR<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SPAR welcomes students into its dual vocational training across 240 stores nationwide, as well as at the logistics centres in Bicske and \u00dcll\u0151, and at the Regnum Meat Plant. It currently partners with 88 vocational schools and technical institutes, with most students coming from rural institutions. SPAR offers practical training placements in trades such as retail sales, retail and e-commerce technician, logistics technician, and butcher and meat product processor, supporting over 500 students annually. The effectiveness of this practical training is evident, as students trained at SPAR regularly represent the company at the finals of the country\u2019s most prestigious competition, often taking the top spot. In 2024, two of our finalists competed, securing 1st and 3rd places, while in 2023, our finalist achieved 3rd place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>University knowledge, real experience \u2013 dual higher education programme<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>SPAR has welcomed dual training students from undergraduate and postgraduate programmes at higher education institutions since 2015. The programme\u2019s goal is to allow students to gain insight into the company\u2019s operations in a real work environment through a structured rotation system. During their practical training, students acquire valuable professional experience, and many continue their careers as full-time employees at SPAR.<\/p>\n<p>Numerous dual students have found their place at SPAR across various fields. Most graduate in business-related disciplines, such as commerce and marketing or business and management. These students can join various departments within the company, applying their knowledge and skills. They are offered opportunities in a wide range of roles, including \u2013 but not limited to \u2013 central sales, procurement, marketing, recruitment, IT, or finance. In addition, SPAR also trains food engineering students who work in food production facilities or areas related to food quality. These students are employed in the company\u2019s quality and environmental management departments, focusing on ensuring and improving product quality. To date, 85 students have participated in the programme and there are 24 currently active dual students working at the company.<\/p>\n<p>The most outstanding students receive a SPAR scholarship, which includes an international study trip. In 2024, top performers visited Vienna to explore Austrian retail and logistics practices, while also expanding their professional networks. SPAR is committed to creating real value for young talents: its dual training programme not only provides practical knowledge but also offers genuine career opportunities for the professionals of tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-70952 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spar-02-2-1030x687.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1030\" height=\"687\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spar-02-2-1030x687.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spar-02-2-255x170.jpg 255w, https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spar-02-2-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spar-02-2-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spar-02-2-1500x1001.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spar-02-2-705x471.jpg 705w, https:\/\/bcsdh.hu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/spar-02-2-634x423.jpg 634w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1030\/687;\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SPAR has been a dedicated supporter of Hungary\u2019s largest and most prestigious vocational event, the Szakma Szt\u00e1r Festival, for years.
