Get started with an apprenticeship in chemistry

More than 27,000 young people are already successfully pursuing an apprenticeship in chemistry. In the GDCh, this group and the professional branch of laboratory technicians, chemical-technical assistants, etc. are represented by the Vocational Education Working Group, which also offers contacts for interested students .
The Elementary Diversity platform provides comprehensive information on the diverse training professions in the chemical industry, tips for applications and contact addresses for companies providing training in the chemical industry. The Verband Deutscher Chemotechniker und Chemisch-Technische Assistenten eV (Association of German Chemical Technicians and Chemical-Technical Assistants) provides information specifically on the training courses for chemical-technical assistants at chemistry schools.
Further information on apprenticeships can be found, for example, at the employment agency and beroobi.
