However, they will be meaningless to a US reader.
Hazmat has kindly reminded me that I answered a similar question earlier: http://www.proz.com/kudoz/german_to_english/government_polit...
Perhaps you would like to use the same sort of lengthy formulation given there?
civil servant with the rank of government assistant in spe
Regarding your comment in the Discussion Box, please note that I proposed either 'trainee civil servant' or 'civil service trainee' but not 'civil servant trainee'.
Thank you, Andrew. I prefer the lengthy formulation. Apologies for the mindless error earlier (if askers cannot even make an accurate note of the proposed solutions ...) |

: A civil servant trainee, in this case, who assists the government (local, state or national?). A sub-set, if you like, of the civil service. Beamten come in all shapes and colours over here in Germany.
