Training with the district

At the Waldeck-Frankenberg district, the motto is "Who likes to learn alone?!" Because everyone who decides to train with the district administration can look forward to a team of young and committed colleagues who will embark on this new stage of their lives together with them. Led by the dynamic training team, the next three years will be exciting, diverse, varied and full of new experiences.


Training as an administrative assistant

During the three-year training, the future administrative assistants pass through various departments (e.g. human resources, youth, transport, construction, etc.), which gives them a good insight into the diverse tasks of the district administration. Customer contact is a "must" in many areas. Many people particularly like this variety, as new and exciting fields of activity are constantly being explored.

In the first and second year of the apprenticeship, most of the school-based training takes place at the vocational schools in Korbach and Bad Arolsen. During the second year of training, in-service training is added at the Hessian Association of Administrative Schools in Kassel (HVSV). From the third year onwards, instruction takes place exclusively at the administrative seminar in Kassel. There you will learn about administrative law, social law, regulatory law, finance and budgeting as well as labour and employment law.

In order to be able to apply for the training, at least a secondary school leaving certificate is required. Political interest and dealing with legal texts should not be a deterrent. The application period for the apprenticeship at the Waldeck-Frankenberg district starts in June of the previous year.

This is what our trainees say about this training:

The training as an IT specialist for system integration is very varied. During my working hours, I am on the road a lot, master a wide variety of tasks and have a lot of contact with people. It gives me a good feeling to be able to help others. At the same time, my colleagues are always there for me when I need help. Marcel Hagenacker, IT specialist trainee for system integration


Since I have been interested in computers and computer science since I was a child, it was easy for me to decide on my training profession. Early on, I assembled my own PC and taught myself programming. In the end, I decided to train as an IT specialist because I enjoy working with technology and solving problems in a targeted way, and I already have some prior knowledge, but I can also use what I have just learned in my private life. Noah Dietrich, IT specialist trainee for system integration
