Larissa Bergmann - trained chemical laboratory technician

What did you expect from your training at Worlée back then?
Were these fulfilled?Actually, I began my training without many expectations. The one thing that did surprise me was the fact that there are not many female trainees in the company, especially in the training program for chemical laboratory assistants. 

How was the introductory phase of your training?
Very good! I was slowly exposed to all different areas and I always had someone at my side whom I could consult when I had problems. 

What does a typical working day entail? What kinds of assignments are you given?
My work varies from day to day and is different in every department. In the application technology section, I mostly begin with the determination of the hardness and gloss of a coating film. Afterwards, I may turn my attention to many diverse tasks such as producing coatings, checking chemical resistance, measuring pH values or paint viscosities, etc.

You finished your apprenticeship in summer 2019 and were taken over. How has your work changed?
After I had successfully completed my training, I was directly taken over by Worlée.  I work as a permanent employee in the field of TMLBC, i.e. construction chemistry. At the beginning I am assigned for the production of hardener systems. Here we attach great importance to hardness development, gelling time and drying. I now write the laboratory reports on my own and will soon also produce the recipes myself.
