Trainees

Lena Fürst, a member of Annette Hammes-Lewin's team, is being honored by the Berlin Chamber of Commerce and Industry for finishing at the top of her biology lab technician training class. In this interview, she talks about the obstacles she has had to overcome and offers advice to other trainees.

According to a survey conducted by the ‘Sozialwissenschaftliches Institut Schad’, the Max Delbrück Center is one of Berlin's best employers and training companies. A good 600 companies took part in the survey, and around 100 received the award – making them ‘Berlins Beste’.

The Max Delbrück Center doesn’t just offer exciting career prospects for scientists: Here, young people can also pursue a wide variety of vocational training pathways. We’d like to introduce four of our trainees: an animal caretaker, an office manager, and two biology lab technicians.

Jeanette Beushausen is apprenticed at the MDC to become an office communication clerk. Her Berlin Spot is the "street" – and any place where a playing field can be set up.
