Working in Germany after Studies
Advising and Job Market Integration for International RWTH Aachen Graduates
Together with the International Placement Service or ZAV, the Federal Employment Agency, and the Employment Agency Aachen, we are offering a special program for international students. The project supports international graduates and students in the last months of their studies, who would like to work in Germany after their studies at RWTH Aachen, by helping them in the search for a suitable job. The goal is to prepare selected RWTH Aachen students for the application process in Germany through intensive advising and application-coaching, as well as to bring the students and German employers from Aachen, the region, and nation together.
What does the program offer?
The program encompasses five 90-minute info events on all relevant topics regarding the application process, including career planning, self-marketing, questions on work permits, composing resumes and letters to employers, as well as a one-day workshop with simulated phone interviews and face-to-face interviews with employers. You will have the opportunity to have regularly scheduled, individual office hours and application-coaching with advising specialists from the Employment Agency Aachen and ZAV for all questions regarding application and work permits.
Furthermore, job databases and get togethers offer you the possibility to get in contact with regional employers. Applicants are mentored until they are employed and are placed at jobs in Aachen, the region, or around the country.
Who can participate in the pilot project?
The pilot project is directed towards international students, who will complete their Bachelor, Master, or doctoral degree in summer semester 2013, and international students who have just completed their Bachelor, Master, or doctoral degree. Candidates from the fields highly sought after in the current job market may apply to participate in the pilot project. This particularly includes computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and astronautics and aerospace engineering.
There is no cost to participate in the project.
