For over 13 years, our apprenticeship program has stood for quality, reliability, and lasting success. During this time, we have supported numerous apprentices on their career paths – some of whom have even been recognized as top graduates at state level.
By being awarded as an outstanding training company in both 2024 and 2025, we have once again demonstrated this commitment. For us, apprenticeship means more than just transferring knowledge: we foster individual strengths, emphasize hands-on experience, and lay the foundation for a successful professional future.
Our Training Team.
Together for the Future.
Excellent training doesn’t happen by chance. It is the result of a team that shares knowledge, takes responsibility, and supports young people throughout their journey.
Our training team – Niclas, Yvonne, and Annemarie – supports our apprentices both professionally and organizationally throughout their entire apprenticeship. All three hold the AEVO trainer qualification and are highly committed to ensuring that our apprentices have the best possible conditions for a successful start to their careers.
But great training is about more than training plans and individual trainers – it’s a team effort. Our experienced laboratory technicians and scientists pass on their knowledge and expertise to the next generation every day. They teach practical skills, explain scientific concepts, and support our apprentices in their day-to-day work in the laboratory.
Because only by working together can we create the foundation for training that builds knowledge, strengthens personal development, and lays the groundwork for a successful future.
After more than 23 years in the laboratory, I know how important a solid education and training are. My goal is not only to teach our apprentices laboratory methods, but also the care and sense of responsibility that define good laboratory work.
Cash for skills.

I really like it here at CUP because everything is very varied. I want to and will continue working here after my apprenticeship.
Your internship
with perspective.
Start your future with us.
Have we aroused your interest in training in our laboratory?
Then apply now for an internship with us – whether it’s a compulsory internship or an orientation internship.
An internship is a prerequisite for training with us. We therefore recommend that you apply early – ideally in the year before you graduate from school.
Impress your contact person for training, Annemarie Platz, with an attractive cover letter, your CV and your school certificate.
We look forward to hopefully getting to know you in person soon.
Your contact person
Annemarie Platz.
Starting out in your career raises lots of questions – and that’s exactly why I’m here.
As I myself only recently completed my own apprenticeship, I know that getting started can sometimes be quite a challenge. With the right people by your side to support you and believe in you, things become much easier.
It’s important to me that you feel welcome right from the start, always have a dedicated point of contact, and can develop both professionally and personally with us.
Whatever questions you have about the apprenticeship – please feel free to get in touch with me. I look forward to receiving your application via our current job vacancies.
