Azubi-Austauschprogramm am HRZ Azubi-Austauschprogramm am HRZ

Since Monday, our trainee Paloma has been hosting two trainee IT specialists from other University IT and Data Centres. Lukas from Heidelberg and Julian from Düsseldorf are spending a week getting to know the training and tasks of the HRZ. In return, Paloma will visit the computer centres of Heidelberg University and Düsseldorf University for a week each.
Alexander, our second apprentice in his 2nd year, is also taking part in the exchange with a group. This group will start in June with the Suderburg and Mannheim computer centres.

The trainees themselves are largely responsible for organising and setting the agenda, including an evening programme. The aim of the exchange is to promote independence and to reflect on one's own working methods. The exchange also promotes social skills. The trainees learn to apply their knowledge in an environment that is foreign to them and at the same time receive new learning impulses.

The trainees see this opportunity as a great chance and are highly motivated and committed to the exchange. The project promotes innovation and networking and enables all participants to ‘think outside the box’.

The exchange is organised by the ZKI e.V. Training Working Group. The pilot project was launched in 2017 with the Regensburg, Würzburg and Heidelberg IT and Data Centres and has been running successfully ever since.
