German term

Regierungsassistentenanwärter

German to English Other Education / Pedagogy Civil service training
I am searching for a translation for the above term. It appears in a "Personalbogen", in a subsection entitled "Ausbildung", which, in turn, is part of a section entitled "Beruflicher Werdegang im Beamtenverhältnis".
The exact context is as follows: "Art des Ausbildungsverhältnisses (z.B. Verwaltungslehrling,
Verwaltungspraktikant/in, Regierungsassistentenanwärter/in).

Thank you very much in advance.

verbal1 (asker) Dec 2, 2010:
Thank you all for your responses. I am still not fully convinced by "civil servant trainee": there must be a way of differentiating between "Beamtenanwärter" and "Regierungsassistenanwärter".

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'.
Note from asker:
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 ...)
Peer comment(s):
agree Kim Metzger : Makes sense and it's English too.

agree James Heppe-Smith : 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.

Thanks, wjms. I think it has to be either '-ee + -ant' or '-ice + -ee' here.
