The trainee program at the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) offers graduates in economics—whether they are entering the workforce for the first time or returning after a career break—the opportunity to gain firsthand experience in the work of the BMF. The program is also open to graduates from other disciplines such as mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and engineering, and political science.

Trainees can expect an attractive working environment that offers insights into various areas of the ministry and diverse development opportunities in topics such as stable public finances, digitalization, economic growth, taxation, and many more.

The Faculty of Economic and Social Sciences at the Helmut Schmidt University / University of the German Armed Forces Hamburg contributes the theoretical and conceptual components in four course modules. Each two-week module provides trainees with subject-specific content—such as administrative law, legal methodology, and labor law—as well as soft skills (e.g., time management, professional confidence, etc.), digitalization in public administration, and political studies.
