Your responsibilities will include a wide range of administrative and commercial tasks. You will become familiar with work processes in the areas of accounting, purchasing, human resources management, project controlling, travel services, and team assistance.
In addition, you will gain fascinating insights into the daily work of a research institute and experience firsthand how administration and science work hand in hand.

Overview:
During your 3-year training program, you will rotate through several training areas. Under certain conditions (good performance in vocational school and practical training), it is possible to shorten the training program to 2.5 years.
This dual training program consists of two basic components:
You will receive a monthly training allowance and social benefits in accordance with the Collective Agreement for Trainees in the Public Sector (TVAöD).
In addition, there is a flat-rate allowance for learning materials. If you live a long way away, we will also reimburse you once a month for travel to your parents' home, the home of your legal guardian or spouse or civil partner (only applies to registered civil partnerships). Even if the vocational school and training center (institute) are located in different municipalities, travel expenses will be reimbursed (for more details, see §§10, 11 in the collective agreement for trainees in the public sector).
If you decide to do your professional training program with us, you will benefit from the high quality of your apprenticeship.
You will have the opportunity to gain experience in all areas of administration at the Fraunhofer IOF and provide administrative support for future-oriented projects. This will enable you to develop into a versatile all-rounder in office management and, after completing your training, you will be able to work in a variety of areas.
Once your professional training has been completed, we are interested in long-term cooperation. Trainees who pass their training program successfully will receive a graduation bonus as a one-time payment.
After successfully completing the program, you have the option to pursue further training to become a Certified Business Administrator (Wirtschaftsfachwirt).
