Not only large companies benefit from cooperation with universities of applied sciences, but also SMEs. The EU project "learn to work" revealed numerous advantages for SMEs that are associated with taking on interns from universities of applied sciences. As part of the EU project, SMEs and universities of applied sciences worked together to develop measures to strengthen the work placement, which brings great added value for students and companies, and to ensure its quality in the long term.
In times of a shortage of skilled labour and new challenges in the qualification of young academics, it is precisely these collaborations that must be strengthened and increasingly promoted in the future.
How SMEs, universities of applied sciences and students can work together and benefit from each other's knowledge in the best possible way will be discussed at the press conference, to which we cordially invite you.
