Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft
Fraunhofer’s success as a research organization relies on ideas and inspiration from young research scientists. Fixed-term employment contracts are a key element of HR policy in this regard. Training and developing research scientists during their time at Fraunhofer and in preparation for subsequent careers in other organizations is therefore to be linked to fixed-term employment relationships.
Transparent and reliable career planning for temporary employees
We strive to offer the best possible support for our employees’ careers by providing professional development based on transparent principles for fixed-term contracts and their conversion to permanent positions. This makes systematic career planning possible where development areas, further education and career options can be discussed openly and collaboratively. In addition, seminars and advisory services for career planning and applications support employees in actively shaping their individual development and in their transitions to external careers.
