Apprenticeships from 2025

Anyone interested in vocational training or a dual study programme for 2025 can find information at karriere.chemnitz.de/ausbildung-studium

The City of Chemnitz is also offering the following new degree programme for the new training year from 2025:

  • Study Geomatics, starting on 1 September 2025

Interested parties can still apply until January 2025 via the online application portal of Chemnitz City Council. All information is also available at: karriere.chemnitz.de/ausbildung-studium

The range of professions for which training can be started is based on demand and can therefore vary from year to year. Demand-orientated training is used to cover the company's own requirements for junior staff and to increase the chances of trainees being offered permanent positions.

The chances of being taken on are very high in all training occupations, as more than 100 employees leave the City of Chemnitz as an employer every year due to age.
