On 01 September, two future IT specialists in the field of system integration started their training at the University Computing Centre (URZ): We are very happy to welcome the new trainees, Ahmad Azizi and David Schöffmann!

The Computing Center's duties and responsibilities are very diverse; therefore the IT specialist training offers the two new trainees a wide range of insights into different areas of university IT. In the first phase, they will become acquainted with all core areas of the institution across several stations - from customer support and on-site service to network and telephony to specialized IT services for research and teaching. Based on this comprehensive overview, they can become increasingly specialized over the course of their training and find their preferred work focus.

They will be supervised by the URZ training manager Dr. Carina Ortseifen and the training managers in the various service areas. “Every year the new trainees are a great addition to our team,” explains Carina Ortseifen. “Their individual personalities, strengths and interests always bring a breath of fresh air to our institution, and they quickly become valued colleagues who actively and enthusiastically support the work of the Computing Centre – learning and improving along the way.”
