In the winter semester 2024/2025, we will support you in finding out about potential careers by giving you direct insights during excursions to employers, some of which will be led by TU Braunschweig alumni. If you want to learn more than what is only published on company websites, take the opportunity to take part in our "Directly from the field" format. Here, experienced professionals (some of them TU Braunschweig alumni) shed light on specific job profiles or report on specific topics from the field. But you don't just get an overview of the professional world, you can also learn about methods that will make it easier for you to start your career in face-to-face or digital information and workshop formats.
Are you having problems with drafting job applications? What will lend your materials extra-persuasiveness? Why consider user-friendliness when formatting? What’s hot and what’s not? Simply join this edu-taining webinar co-hosted by a recruiter and a Career Service rep and learn the application basics.

They start with the trigger of an unsatisfactory situation in the project or organisation. They are usually set up by management or board members so that they have sufficient influence within the organisation. They also have an end, which is achieved by reaching key figures or a decision. There are specific challenges that need to be mastered. This requires a specific toolbox that needs to be created.
