a high school Junior/Senior with an affinity for STEM disciplines, a forward-thinking individual looking for a unique opportunity to start their career, and a young professional who consistently displays a poised and respectful attitude in the workplace.

This apprenticeship application will be for a 5-day Work Trial starting on one of the following dates: June 8th, 2026 or July 6th 2026. Work Trial and Apprenticeship training are located in Ashland, VA. This Work Trial is the first step towards the full 3 or 5-year program. It will give interested students the chance to learn more about analytical instrumentation, their applications, and help determine the fit for the full 3 or 5-year apprenticeship program. During the apprenticeship program, the candidates will complete their high school degree and an Associate's or Bachelor's degree through a local community college or four-year college, or university. Upon completion of the program, recent graduates will be required to work for Anton Paar for a period determined by their program. Anton Paar will offer a path into a Service Engineer position with further career development. Apprentices can move to any of our regional offices in Houston, TX, Torrance, CA, or Chicago, IL after completion of the program. The more open a candidate is to relocation, the more opportunity there is for career progression within Anton Paar.

The compensation will be $13 per hour during the Work Trial program, $15 your first year, increasing to $17 per hour your second year while working on receiving an Associate's/Bachelor's degree. Tuition at a local community college will be covered by Anton Paar, while tuition assistance is available at a local 4-year college/university. After successful completion of the 3 or 5-year apprenticeship program, candidates will be offered a full-time position as a Service Engineer with full benefits and bonus opportunities.
