Osnabrück University welcomes new trainees: A look into the future!
On August 4, 2025, a welcome day for new trainees took place at the University of Osnabrück. This year, those responsible at the university are pleased to welcome seven fresh talents who have chosen different training courses. Among the new trainees are Lilith Gardlo, Emelie Kording, Evelyn Tschinse and Ole Schmunkamp, who are aiming to train as administrative assistants. Merit Zumbrägel will be trained as a gardener, while Louis Korbel will acquire the skills of an industrial mechanic. Tabea Derke starts her career as a specialist in media and information services.
The University of Osnabrück, with over 1,800 employees, is in focus as one of the largest employers in the Osnabrück region. Carsten Niekamp, the representative responsible for training, highlights the wide range of apprenticeships available, which covers the areas of administration, animal care, media design and IT specialists. According to Frauke van der Meer, who is responsible for the human resources department, the number of applicants for training positions has increased satisfactorily in recent years. There is a positive trend emerging, which suggests that more and more young people are opting for training.
Diverse training offerings
The university offers a central location that benefits potential trainees. New training positions will be advertised for those interested in September 2025 and February 2026. The university's website provides comprehensive information on vocational training. Under www.uni-osnabrueck.de/universitaet/stellenangebote/berufsbildung/ You can find details about the training occupations and the additional career opportunities.
The majority of vocational training in Germany takes place in the dual system, which combines practical work in a company with attending a vocational school. This enables trainees to closely combine theory and practice. There are also many full-time, multi-year training courses, particularly in the healthcare sector. Again Education server explained, the political responsibility for vocational training in Germany is divided. While the vocational school system is organized federally and is therefore the responsibility of the individual federal states, in-company vocational training is the responsibility of the federal government.
Another aspect of vocational training in Germany is the possibility of gaining access to higher education through vocational training. The Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs (KMK) offers comprehensive information on training paths and supports it with diagrams that outline the basic structure of the education system. This information enables trainees to approach their career planning in a more targeted manner. The reform of the dual system, which is continually being adapted on the basis of the Vocational Training Act of 2005, shows that the challenges of vocational training are being taken seriously.
