08 December 2022 - Carrier and Training at the URZLeading the Way from Training into the Workforce
In July, Marco Moock completed his training as an IT specialist in the field of systems integration at the University Computing Centre and at the beginning of November, he was honored by the IHK for his outstanding performance. Now, the top-ranked IT specialist in the Rhine-Neckar Chamber of Industry and Commerce is working at the URZ in the email department. We extend our congratulations to him and are proud of our trainee’s achievements.
It's a full house at the Congress Center Rosengarten on November 7 - the Rhine-Neckar Chamber of Industry and Commerce honors the year's top exam scorers in Mannheim. Among the most successful graduates is Marco Moock, who started his training as an IT specialist in system integration at the Computing Centre, completing it within two years instead of three and with outstanding marks.
Even before arriving at the URZ, he had already been working with computers, particularly server services, and through his education, he was able to gain broader insight into the varied and multi-layered technologies used by workers, students, and researchers every day at the university. The former trainee was particularly interested in the area of network technology and working with Linux. He was also excited to have the opportunity to try out some new things.
Marco Moock now works as an URZ employee in the email department, processes tickets from users with IT problems and manages the Computing Centre's email and listserv servers, among other tasks. There's a lot to do in university IT, especially in regards to the communication medium email: With approximately 270,000 emails sent and received per day, the URZ is particularly thrilled to have competent and dedicated colleagues. And of course, we are all immensely proud of this highly capable addition to the team.
