IMB has a well-rounded roster of staff and regularly employs trainees through the local Rheinhessen Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) office. Through their involvement, many IHK trainees at IMB have gone on to accept full-time positions in various departments, including Administration, Scientific Management, Core Facilities, and as research assistants and laboratory technicians. In addition, several IMB employees volunteer locally with the Technisches Hilfswerk (THW), the German state agency for civil protection and disaster control. IMB was awarded a THW certificate in 2019 for promoting the humanitarian aims of the THW.
