Salzburg students get to know companies in Laufen and Traunreut
The excursion was organized by the Berchtesgadener Land Wirtschaftsservice and the Traunstein Economic Development Agency in cooperation with the Salzburg Industrialists’ Association, the EuRegio Salzburg – Berchtesgadener Land – Traunstein and the University of Salzburg.
The day was all about sustainability: the company tours showed that the young talents are not only interested in their career opportunities when choosing their future employer, but also have critical questions about the importance of sustainability, environmental protection and climate neutrality . That’s why Simon Koch, energy and sustainability guide at Berchtesgadener Land Wirtschaftsservice, was also on board: During the bus ride, he discussed with the participants what sustainable and responsible management means and explained how the 17 sustainability goals of the United Nations should contribute to this, worldwide to enable a dignified life while preserving the natural basis of life in the long term.
The industry excursion is not only a benefit for local companies, but also for future specialists: “It is very important for our students to find out what career opportunities are open to them in the EuRegio border area,” emphasized Prof. Dr. Maurizio Musso from the Department of Chemistry and Physics of Materials at the University of Salzburg. »In addition to knowledge from the academic world, impressions from industry are also important so that students can decide how they would like to shape their own careers.«
The day was also a complete success for BGLW specialist guide Annalena Geisreiter: »I was particularly pleased to see how committed the students were. The company tours both end with an exciting discussion and question and answer session; everyone involved took a lot with them from the industry excursion.«
