First day for new trainees at Trier University

Two office management clerks, a sports and fitness clerk and an electronics technician for industrial engineering have started their training.

 

 

Die Uni Trier hat ihre neuen Auszubildenden begrüßt: Vier junge Menschen haben ihre berufliche Laufbahn an der Uni Trier begonnen. Sie werden in den kommenden Jahren zu Kaufleuten für Büromanagement (jeweils eine Frau und ein Mann), zum Sport- und Fitnesskaufmann bzw. zum Elektroniker für Betriebstechnik ausgebildet. Ihre Arbeitsplätze werden sie in der Verwaltung, beim uniSPORT und in der Elektrowerkstatt haben. Seit Anfang des Jahres lernt zudem an der Uni Trier ein junger Mann Industriemechaniker für Instandhaltung.

[Translate to Englisch:] Die Auszubildenden Marco Brunker, Aslan Mirac, Karin Botros, Marten Meter und Sher Butt (v. l.) wurden von Kanzlerin Ulrike Graßnick (links) und Präsidentin Eva Martha Eckkrammer (rechts) offiziell begrüßt.

President Prof Dr Eva Martha Eckkrammer and Chancellor Dr Ulrike Graßnick warmly welcomed the trainees to the campus. "Trier University is not only a place of science and study, but also an important employer in the region. Training young people is an important concern for us and a social responsibility that we are happy to take on," emphasised Chancellor Graßnick.

President Eckkrammer added: "We are delighted that you have decided to train at our university. You will not only learn a profession, but also experience the exciting and diverse topics that we deal with every day at Trier University."

Trier University offers nine different apprenticeships

In addition to the four new apprentices, one or two more apprentices are expected to start their training at Trier University at a later date. Like many other training companies, Trier University was unable to fill all of its training places due to a lack of suitable applicants. Trier University is offering a total of 37 apprenticeships in nine professions - including IT specialist, media and information services specialist and digitalisation management assistant. The President and Chancellor hope that Trier University's attractiveness as an employer will once again convince more people interested in training in the coming year.

The trainees can enjoy the numerous benefits of a campus university: they can take advantage of the sports facilities, attend academic lectures or get involved in university groups. They also benefit from discounted meals in the canteen and the short distances on campus in both senses of the word.

The application phase for the start of training next year begins in autumn 2024, and interested students can gain an insight into the various training professions as part of a career discovery internship.
