Chemical and pharmaceutical technologist EFZ

Our apprentices report on their apprenticeship...

“My days are always different and I never know exactly how it will go. For this reason, you can’t always plan and you have to be flexible. I often accompany the employees from my department and support them in various activities, such as assisting with a cell culture or pipping solutions or bacteria. The exchange with the vocational trainers is optimal and I also receive a lot of support with school-related problems. During my apprenticeship, I pass through various departments and can thus acquire extensive knowledge. I feel very comfortable in the Johnson & Johnson family.”
