The heart of BASF in Ludwigshafen
BASF employs a workforce of over 39,000 at its head office in Ludwigshafen (on the Rhine) in southwestern Germany. This research and production site offers many entry levels, development and career options. 1,000 young people are afforded the opportunity of qualified training at BASF every year and, what's more, for over 40 different job profiles.
At BASF, permanent employees can select training from options such as seminars, e-learning, and on-the-job programs, or receive further training directly at the BASF learning center in Ludwigshafen. The Employee Center for Work-Life Management also provides different programs. These include social counseling, childcare, promotion of sport and health, and reconciliation between a career and family life.
