Master & Diploma Theses, Vocational Training and Work Placement
The Helmholtz Association trains numerous young women and men in technical and administrative professions each year with the aim of contributing to expanding the pool of qualified personnel and offering young people prospects for a future in science-related careers.
A total of 1,627 young people received vocational training in one of the Helmholtz Centres in 2010. This figure translates to 6.4 percent of total staff (not including doctoral students) – an impressive training rate consistent with those of past years. As of 15 October 2010, 1,614 trainees and apprentices were employed within the Helmholtz Association.
With the highest training rate of any non-university research organisation in Germany, the Helmholtz Association contributes to reinforcing Germany’s position as a centre of scientific excellence and innovation. Moreover, thousands of students earn their degrees with theses on science-related topics at Helmholtz Centres every year.
