Apprenticeship at Fraunhofer ISIT

Your dream job in applied research - Come to Fraunhofer!

Do you want to help shape the future? Then Fraunhofer is the right place for you. Fraunhofer ISIT offers apprenticeships in the field of microsystems technology.  

We not only train, but also continue to train!

We offer our trainees the best possible start to their careers. This includes more than just a first-class working environment: practical work with plenty of scope for personal development makes us one of the most popular employers in Germany.

Our on-site trainers work right in the middle of the action themselves. Practical skills, specialist knowledge, soft skills - you get an "all-inclusive" package. Furthermore, you will learn the theory for your future profession at the vocational school (RBZ Kreis Steinburg in Itzehoe) and make new contacts in the process. You can also take part in internships at partner companies and cooperation partners to get a broader view of the possibilities at ISIT. After the apprenticeship, you will have excellent opportunities with Fraunhofer know-how in your luggage.

Your strengths are the focus: Choose the focus!

Apprenticeship
Microtechnologist
