Start of apprenticeships 2026 at the HRZ Start of apprenticeships 2026 at the HRZ

We are happy to welcome two new trainees as part of our team since August 1. Luka Brix and Kilian Vogt have started their apprenticeships for IT specialist for system integration at the HRZ. Dr Rainer Bockholt, director of the HRZ, warmly welcomed them on their first day. After that, they had their first opportunity to meet their future colleagues and teachers. 

Insight into the work routine: What our trainees can expect

The training for IT specialist for system integration is diverse and demanding as our trainess will learn about all departments of the HRZ in the next three years, and will learn about the basics of all our services. In addition to the classes at the vocational school, this includes theoretical basics but primarily practical application. The trainees will learn how complex IT systems for many university members are planned, installed and maintained. This includes profound knowledge about networks, to operate the technology in the 300 university buildings, server administration on the basis of Linux operating systems and the IT security. 

We are happy about our new colleagues, who are trained here to work in a forward-looking vocation. In the past, the HRZ has trained more that 30 IT specialists, who now work in different fields, most of them at the university.
