Professional Training at Fraunhofer IOF

Examine the world from different perspectives, think differently, create solutions independently...

At Fraunhofer IOF, we train precision opticians, industrial mechanics and physics laboratory technicians. They are exploring modern technologies and, after the foundational training at our educational partner institutions, our trainees break through. Right from the start, they participate in work and project teams that work directly on research tasks and the development of the latest technologies.

While being mentored by experienced employees, our trainees are primarily introduced to working independently. Based on this multifaceted training, the trainees’ further career options are manifold and do not only entail a career at the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Optics and Precision Engineering. The qualification and experience earned at Fraunhofer are excellent references for research and industry.
