I started my apprenticeship as an IT specialist for system integration at TU Clausthal in 2019. I am currently 20 years old and in my first year of training. I decided to apply to become an IT specialist in 2018 because I had already completed two internships in the IT field and had discovered the profession for myself. I also have a lot to do with computers and technology in general in my private life, so my apprenticeship was clear. As I come from Goslar, I applied to companies in the surrounding area and finally, after a trial day, I decided to start at the TU. The friendly staff and generally pleasant working atmosphere convinced me.

I work in the main building of TU Clausthal in Department 2 (IT & Statistics). Every day I deal with the problems and requests (mainly in the main building) of the employees. I set up the IT systems at the workstations, install PCs, take care of all other IT-related problems and much more. I have different problems to solve every day, so I never get bored.

On the side, you can always start your own projects and take them forward, such as setting up your own Linux server. There are always projects with the other trainees too. This teaches and strengthens the community. You never have the feeling of being alone here, there is always someone to talk to.

In conclusion, I can definitely recommend applying to the TU. The work here is very independent and the pay is also good and I never regret being here. So, apply!
