There is one thing that PowerTech is really proud of! Over years we hired students to support our daily business and especially in the engineering and operations area we take advantage of very talented students and offer them the opportunity to work with our experienced staff.
University careers are usually the first real career challenge that students have to go through on their own. Especially after the bachelor degree the question of where to specialize and how to continue. For those students who decided to work for PowerTech during their education we launched a mentor program in which we assign senior engineers as support for the academic careers. On a very regular basis we are provideing topics for a master thesis.
Why does PowerTech do that? With supporting students and getting them onboard of our team we intend to intensify their interest for our products and we have the possibility to learn the newest lessons from university as well. Quite a number of students stay with PowerTech after their education and we are happy to provide them the important experience of „the first real job“.
In our new series „From University to Business“ we will provide you with abstracts of our students master thesises. All those Masters of Science are working for PowerTech today. Please meet our new stars and their topics!
