Our training sessions combine theoretical foundations with practical exercises. Participants receive valuable insights and tips directly from our experienced recruiters. In addition, the personal atmosphere provides the opportunity to ask individual questions about CVs, cover letters, and more. This helps participants prepare optimally for their next applications as working students, interns, or for direct entry.

Since June 2024, we have offered female students from predominantly technical degree programs, such as the women’s mechanical engineering course at Ruhr West University of Applied Sciences in Mülheim, the opportunity to participate in our one-year mentoring program “Empower2Grow”.
