Jelena Milijkovic – Trainee chemical laboratory technician

Challenge
At last, a real laboratory. The whole environment is just so exciting – handling chemicals, experimenting, discovering things. It’s a completely new world and I really enjoy looking at everything from a different angle.

Every day
Of course, the scientific work is just one aspect of training as a chemical laboratory technician. There’s a lot of studying to be done if you want to help look for new active substances for pharmaceuticals or innovative plastics or optimize production processes. And, of course, there’s all the administrative work as well.

Why Bayer
It is this variety which makes training at Bayer so exciting. If you want an independent and responsible role in R&D, take a look at the science traineeships Bayer offers.
