The University of Graz is not only an educational institution for around 30,000 students, it also trains young people in eight exciting apprenticeship professions. Whether in the laboratory, in the office or outdoors in the countryside, the choice of professions is diverse. And, of course, you can also complete your apprenticeship with a school-leaving certificate at the University of Graz.
"The work in the physics laboratory at the University of Graz is really very varied," says Laura Losbichler. She is completing her apprenticeship as a metal technician here and will soon finish her training. "Here you also learn things that you don't see anywhere else." Whether it's complex experimental setups or craft methods that are no longer taught anywhere else.
"We manufacture individual parts for scientific experiments here. Sometimes the researchers come to us because something breaks during an experiment. Then we have to repair it quickly." In any case, it was the right decision for her, says the aspiring technician. Losbichler particularly appreciates the University of Graz as a training provider because of the good atmosphere. "You are given a really warm welcome here, working with the team is very informal and I get a lot of support."
Apprentice game
School pupils can now explore the diversity of tasks at a large university in a fun way with the interactive apprentice game from the University of Graz. Players take on the role of an apprentice. On their very first day at work, there is a laboratory accident, nanobots escape and paralyse everyone on campus. Only the apprentices can save the university now.
