What does the apprenticeship offer you?

There’s never a dull moment. You will get to know a wide variety of work areas. By working in different teams, you’ll have the chance to discover your own strengths and gain a realistic impression of what everyday working life looks like. “Fack ju Göhte” or are you ready for something more?

Everyone finds their place here: those who enjoy working with people just as much as those who prefer focusing on specific tasks behind the scenes. You’ll also get around: you can complete internships in other libraries or institutions. You’ll become part of the information society, experience rapid changes firsthand, and discover what really lies behind trendy buzzwords.

You support researchers and students by providing literature and gathering information, including online. You interact with many different people from various nationalities.
