Martin Reichardt, Apprenticeships at Fraunhofer IWKS

Hello, my name is Martin Reichardt and I have been an apprentice at Fraunhofer IWKS since August 1, 2018. I am 27 years old and am completing my training as an IT specialist for system integration. This is my third apprenticeship and finally what I have been looking for all the years before. It is a real stroke of luck that Fraunhofer IWKS choosed me despite my age. In the next 3 years, exciting challenges, nice colleagues and many opportunities await me to complete my apprentice as an IT specialist for system integration with one of Europe's leading research institutes. And if I am particularly good, I even have the chance to shorten all this to 2 ½ and start my professional life earlier.

General information

Company, vocational school and general information

The apprenticeship to become an IT specialist for system integration is a classic dual apprenticeship, in which part of the training takes place in the vocational school and the other in the company. School attendance is divided into blocks. This means that I attend school for several weeks at a time and then spend several weeks in the company again. For me, this has the advantage of being able to concentrate optimally on one aspect. The additional possibilities of the paid further training measures in the context of my training direction optimize my knowledge for the occupation.
