Bertelsmann Entrepreneurs Program

This program is operated under the umbrella of our Management Board 

Hartmut Ostrowski
Chairman of the Executive Board and Chief Executive Officer

The Bertelsmann Entrepreneurs Program is a management rotational program that provides budding entrepreneurs with the opportunity to explore our world of media and then write their own chapter within the Bertelsmann success story.

This custom tailored international program spans 12-18 months with approximately three rotations throughout our family of media and service companies, (Books, Magazines, Television, Book/Music/DVD Clubs, Print and a wide array of Services).

Each year we accept a few outstanding people with high potential into our Entrepreneurs Program. 

Developmental aspects of the program include mentorship from a member of Bertelsmann’s Executive Board, internal training initiatives, group projects and many opportunities for networking with both executives and peers across many of our divisions. 

You can apply by going to the Job Search box to your right and entering "Entrepreneur".

You can either register in the Personal Career Planner (PCP) and then send your application or apply directly without PCP registration. Select the product line Headquarters and write in your cover letter that you are applying for the Bertelsmann Entrepreneurs Program.
