That won’t happen again any time soon: meeting 50 companies offering career prospects in a single day, all within easy reach. For students at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences, the HSMW Career Day on 9 October certainly offered excellent prospects – practical topics for their final-year dissertation and good jobs for afterwards, just before the end of their studies; interesting opportunities as an intern or working student ahead of their work placement semester; and even for students in earlier years, a good overview and some useful contacts across various sectors.
They were spread out widely. Coloured balloons at the stands indicated the disciplines in which the companies were looking to recruit young talent. Future engineers, cybersecurity specialists and AI experts were particularly in demand, but there were also plenty of opportunities for media professionals and managers. Many of the companies have offices in the region and know that they can find what they’re looking for at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences. Through close collaboration with the companies, the university’s lecturers and researchers ensure that this remains the case.
“Mittweida University of Applied Sciences is once again proving itself to be a testing ground for new possibilities. I am delighted to see so many long-standing partners taking part, as well as numerous new companies,” said Rector Volker Tolkmitt as he welcomed the representatives of the exhibiting firms. “I warmly invite you all to take advantage of the wide range of opportunities for collaboration with Mittweida University of Applied Sciences.”
The supporting programme for Career Day appealed to both exhibitors and students: cyber security and digital forensics in the age of the AI revolution, the Degree Apprenticeship/Dual Study Program at Mittweida University of Applied Sciences combining academic study and vocational training, gaming in recruitment and team-building, salary negotiations, starting a business and self-employment, or ‘New Work’.
The Centre for Media and Social Work, the Ludwig Hilmer Building, has proved its worth from both the exhibitors’ and the university’s perspectives. Many companies praised the flawless organisation and execution, which involved numerous people from various departments across the university. This bodes well for the HSMW Career Day on 8 October 2025.
