2 “The future lies in science” – Your career at Dual training at Fraunhofer IGB Fraunhofer in Stuttgart As a research institution, Fraunhofer IGB is very committed to promoting students. However, the non-university vocational training of young women and men is also of great importance to the institute. In 2016, for example, the institute offered six new apprenticeships. In the autumn, three biotechnology and two chemical laboratory assistants started their training at Fraunhofer IGB. Another new colleague was hired in the institute’s administration, starting her training to become an ofice manager. In addition to the vocational training, the trainees rotate through several departments at the institute in order to familiarize themselves with the diverse work areas of a research facility in order to qualify for future research or industry jobs. If trainees decide to pursue a course of study following their training, the institute offers its support. In addition to scientiic research and business administration jobs, Fraunhofer IGB also offers apprenticeships in the IT sec- tor for IT specialists for system integration. www.igb.fraunhofer.de/ausbildung In 2016, the annual career at the Fraunhofer Institute Center Stuttgart took place for the irst time under a new title and with a revised concept. Under the slogan “The Future Lies in Science”, the institute center invited students to a career event at the Stuttgart research campus. Instead of offering con- ventional lectures, the visitors took part in discussions. These “insider insights” offered them the opportunity to speak in person with Fraunhofer employees from various disciplines and career backgrounds. At the same time, the institutes offered guided tours through their research departments. Fraunhofer IGB participated with tours on the topics “Tissue Engineering” and “Algal Technology”. www.stuttgart.fraunhofer.de/karrieretag “Your future in Stuttgart” – Open house for international students For two years, the city of Stuttgart has been offering an an- nual open house, directed speciically at international students enrolled at Universities in the Stuttgart region.
