Careers with a future

You are out of school or close to finishing it. And now it is straight to a successful future! However for many people that is easier said than done, because the subject of choosing a career is sometimes as difficult as it is important: which career is right for me? Which sectors have good prospects for work place and career? Where can I find information? The initiative ”BIOTechnikum“ has compiled the most important information for the life sciences and biotechnology sector.

Biology or chemistry are part of the curriculum, but the career opportunities that these sciences and bordering areas open up, are often little known. Numerous careers, however, promise an interesting and secure future - no matter whether training or studies lead to a working life. It is important to know that the chances are good in the life sciences sector and are expected to get even better. For with biotechnology in Germany it is continually going upwards, and in turn this means that more well trained, qualified experts are needed - from biotechnical assistants to chemistry laboratory assistants and biochemists right up to doctors of biology.

You can find out whether life sciences could play an important role in your (professional) life, for example by doing a work placement. Many smaller enterprises and the development departments of large companies offer interested people work placements of several weeks; and they are definitely worth checking out. The initiative "BIOTechnikum“ provides an insight into the themes, areas of research and uses of biotechnology. At all the stops, where the mobile experience world is a guest, the scientists accompanying the programme would be happy to answer your questions and explain about training and day to day business in the sector. Furthermore, ”BIOTechnikum“ is offering special work placements in co-operation with schools all over Germany: in this way school pupils can do experiments themselves in the laboratory. Perhaps one of the hobby researchers or budding natural scientists will thus discover their enthusiasm for the technology of tomorrow.
