I am particularly pleased to see so many examples of companies reaching out to their communities and engaging with employees – after all, medtech is really about people rather than technology.

Career choices

Apprenticeship Night was a chance for companies to engage with young people

Deciding which path to take after graduating from school or technical apprenticeships can be tricky. Young people with the right skillset have lots of options but can find it difficult to get detailed information about future career paths.

That’s the beauty of job fairs and careers days, where hundreds of jobseekers and graduates can mix with dozens of employers. The Kassel Apprenticeship Night is designed for young people in the German city to find out about opportunities on their own doorstep.

For B. Braun, the event was a chance to engage with over 1,000 potential employees and apprentices. At a dedicated booth, the company discussed education, skills and jobs in the medtech sector with people keen on working to improve the lives and health of people all over the world.

‘We want to create transparency in the professional world,’ said Ann-Christin Ohlssen, a trainee industrial clerk at B. Braun and a member of the events organizational team. ‘From our own experience, we know that deciding which path to take after school is not always easy.’
