Mentoring for students
The following mentoring programmes are open to students at HSWT to learn from students in higher semesters or from people from professional life.
-
Junior mentoring at the Triesdorf campus
Experienced students support and accompany first-year students at the Triesdorf campus. By interacting with students from higher semesters, first-semester students get to know the university more quickly, make initial contacts with their fellow students and receive answers and tips to their questions at a low-threshold level.
Registration for the „Junior Mentoring Programme“
For further information, please contact us at career-service@hswt.de.

Addressing young professionals as a company: our service
The Career Service is the point of contact for companies and institutions wishing to establish contact with students at the University of Applied Sciences Weihenstephan-Triesdorf at an early stage. How can companies get in touch with our students?
-
1. Publish a job advert
Companies and institutions register as job providers and publish their vacancies (entry-level positions, internships, part-time jobs during studies, working student jobs) on our university job exchange.
-
2. Present companies with their own profile
With a company profile in our university job exchange, companies become visible to qualified and interested students.

3. Advertise recruiting events
Companies advertise their own recruiting events on our university job exchange and thus attract committed and interested young talent from HSWT.

4. The practical days: in direct contact with students
Companies come into direct contact with students during the practical days. They offer young talent concrete insights into their day-to-day work and thus attract new staff.
