In coordination with the vocational schools, your training to become an IT specialist starts in September of each year.

The vacancy is advertised each autumn. You can find the application deadline in the relevant job advertisement. Please submit your application using our online application form.

Absolutely. If you are interested in IT and technology, an apprenticeship at LRZ gives you the opportunity to put your interests into practice and develop your career prospects.

If you have not yet received your school-leaving certificate, your two most recent school reports will be sufficient for your initial application. Please submit your school-leaving certificate as soon as it becomes available, and no later than the start of your apprenticeship.

Sadly not. If you are interested, we can arrange a meeting during the application process. Visits by your whole class to the LRZ are also possible. Or you can get to know us at a careers fair near you.

• A strong cover letter in which you tell us about yourself and explain why you want to become an IT specialist and study at LRZ.
• A CV that doesn’t just include your school achievements and hobbies, but also highlights your work experience and commitment
• Copies of your last two school reports
• Proof of your work experience placements and other skills (e.g. languages such as German and English)

We pay particular attention to your grades in German, computer science and mathematics, as these subjects are important for the apprenticeship. However, top grades are not a requirement. What matters to us is that you show us why you are interested in IT and technology, that you enjoy finding solutions to technical challenges, and that you can work both independently and as part of a team.

After reviewing the applications, we invite selected applicants to meet us in person. The appointment begins with a 25-minute test covering school subjects and other areas of knowledge. This is followed by an interview with the apprenticeship coordinators, during which we would like to learn more about you and your interests. You will, of course, also have the opportunity to ask us questions. All applicants will receive a response to their application.
