International Onboarding Program

Securing skilled workforce for industry

The shortage of skilled workers is an increasing challenge for companies. Especially in technical and scientific fields, well-trained personnel are becoming a key factor for innovation, competitiveness, and growth. International STEM students at universities bring valuable strengths to this context: subject-specific expertise, methodological know-how, and a strong motivation to enter professional practice.

The International Onboarding Program (IOP) brings companies and international talent together in a structured way. Companies gain access to suitable candidates, a sound assessment of relevant competencies, and support in preparing them for the requirements of the labour market. This creates concrete career opportunities for young professionals in industry.
