9 September 2020 - About UsCareer start at the URZ: Three future IT specialists begin their vocational training

Despite corona restrictions, the three new URZ trainees were able to launch their careers on the 1.9. as planned. Over the next years, they will be trained as IT specialists in the field of system integration.

We are very happy to welcome the new trainees Aaron Neuner, Marco Moock and Thomas Käseberg to the University Computing Centre (URZ)!

In the initial phase of their vocational training, the three will work in different URZ departments and get to know the various working areas and IT services of the institution, ranging from the IT and on-site services to network and telephony to scientific applications such as high performance computing. "This way, the trainees will gain a varied insight into the work at a university computing centre and can later decide more easily on a main focus they find especially interesting", explains Dr. Carina Ortseifen, training manager at the computing centre.

Even under the current special circumstances, a high quality vocational training is possible. "We work hybrid – in the home office and at the workplace, taking into account the new hygiene regulations", says Ortseifen. “It is very important to us to make the start into training as normal and profitable as possible. Here we have three open and inquisitive young people who want to actively involve themselves in the operations of the URZ. They should have sufficient opportunity to do so.”
