IT Specialist - Application Development

You are interested in logical connections, are familiar with the latest hardware and software and find programming languages exciting? By becoming an IT specialist with us, you can look forward to working in a wide variety of fields.

By choosing to specialize in application development, your training program at Fraunhofer will include both small and large software projects. You will analyze IT systems and learn how to develop the right software solution for the requirements. You will use various programming languages and tools for this. Database development, the adaptation of existing applications and troubleshooting are also interesting challenges that you will face in the future. This way, you will gain practical experience in computer science, which will open up new paths for you later on.

Generally, our trainees have intermediate diplomas, advanced technical college entrance qualifications or high school diplomas. At some of our institutes and for some professions, a lower secondary school diploma may also be sufficient for a start to your apprenticeship at Fraunhofer. Our institutes are independent when it comes to training - you can find out whether you can apply for a training position with your diploma at the Fraunhofer Institute of your choice.
