In 2025, the German Chemical Society (GDCh) will be awarding a prize for the best graduates of chemistry-related training programmes such as chemical technical assistants (CTA), chemical laboratory assistants or chemical engineering technicians for the 19th time. Graduates from neighbouring disciplines such as PTAs and BTAs can also receive the award.

Each school may award one prize winner per year and has the right to offer two further graduates who are worthy of the award a one-year free membership in the GDCh. As a rule, the prize is awarded when the graduation certificate is presented.

The graduation prize includes a certificate, a book prize and the opportunity to become a member of the GDCh and the GDCh Vocational Education Working Group free of charge for one year.

The Vocational Training Working Group represents the interests of non-academic GDCh members. The aim is to bring together all those interested in company and school education in the chemical sector and its neighbouring fields and to create a platform for the exchange of ideas and experiences. Professional suggestions on the topic of "vocational training" are also to be given and further developed in terms of content (www.gdch.de/bb). Free, one-year membership of the Vocational Education Working Group requires membership of the GDCh.

Teachers are once again invited to select their best graduates for 2025 and to nominate them for the graduation prize no later than three weeks before the final certificate is presented.

The registration of the school and the award winners takes place exclusively online via the registration link on this website. Registrations by e-mail cannot be considered.
