Whether it’s engineering, business, IT, logistics, marketing, project management or sustainability – the wind energy sector is looking for talented young professionals from a wide range of disciplines. At the Recruiting Days, around 50 exhibitors will be showcasing their companies and offering fascinating insights into their organisations, entry-level opportunities and career paths.
If you’ve always wanted to know what the energy transition looks like in practice, or what sort of jobs are involved in modern wind farms, battery storage systems and innovative technologies, you’ll find first-hand answers here.
Get to know the companies – in person and first-hand
Rather than anonymous online applications, the Recruiting Days focus on real conversations. Visitors have the opportunity to:
- make contacts with potential employers
- discover work placements, part-time student roles and trainee programmes
- ask questions about starting out in a career and career paths
- exchange ideas with industry experts
Particularly exciting for students: many companies are specifically looking for young talent and future leaders who want to play an active role in shaping the energy transition.
Stage, Insights and Networking
Alongside the exhibition areas, visitors can look forward to a varied programme of stage events. Companies, associations and organisations will be presenting their work, current projects and career opportunities there.
In addition, a digital job board ensures that exhibitors’ current vacancies – ranging from work placements to entry-level roles – can be found quickly and easily.
A special highlight is in store on Thursday: the Career Happy Hour will take place from 5.30 pm to 7.00 pm. In a relaxed atmosphere, visitors can network, make contacts and chat over delicious drinks and snacks.
