Is your organisation looking for graduates? Do you help students enter the labour market as part of your work at a university or research institution?
We show the next generation of academics at Brandenburg’s universities and research institutions that Brandenburg has more to offer than just recreation and leisure activities on its 3,000 lakes. Through sector-specific keynote talks, we provide an overview of the diversity of industries and companies in the state and highlight various career prospects.
The Career Talks last between one and a half and two hours and, depending on the focus and audience, are complemented by one or two company representatives. We would be delighted to welcome you as a partner at one of our upcoming events, so that you can present your company directly. Simply get in touch!

The Wirtschaftsförderung Land Brandenburg GmbH (WFBB) supports young academics in their career entry into the Brandenburg economy. Within the framework of organised company visits, they are given the opportunity to get to know companies in the state of Brandenburg that are interesting for their field of study, as well as different occupational fields and professional development opportunities in the region.
Together with regional partners, the WFBB offers students the opportunity to get to know the Brandenburg economy. On the one hand, the companies can present themselves to the Brandenburg students as future employers with their fields of work, departments and production facilities, and on the other hand, the prospective graduates are given the opportunity to find out about internships, dissertations and entry-level opportunities from the potential employers. In addition, the regions will be presented as a liveable place to work and live during the tours.
Due to the current health situation, these events are not currently offered.
