Opportunities for companies

Approximately 3,800 students are currently enrolled at the West Saxon University of Applied Sciences Zwickau. They study at eight faculties in approx. 50 different degree programmes in the fields of business, technology, languages, health and applied arts. Of the approximately 700 graduates who leave the university each year, 37% want to stay in the Zwickau region.

Would you like to present your company directly to our students on campus? The Career Service offers several opportunities to do so.

Take advantage of the opportunity to publish your vacancies (entry-level positions, trainee positions, internships, topics for theses as well as part-time jobs and working student positions) at the West Saxon University of Applied Sciences Zwickau and/or present yourself permanently as an attractive employer with a company profile. Benefit from the high reach of the WHZ Job Portal as the only online job portal at WHZ. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the staff of the Career Service.

With companyZOOM you open up a new perspective for students and graduates to get to know your company. The digital platform offers you the opportunity to present yourself in the form of virtual tours of your premises with the help of 360-degree panoramas. Through integrated links to website, job offers and social media channels, as well as placed information boxes, your company can be discovered independently and interactively, even from a distance.

The interactive platform was developed as part of the TalentTransfer project, Southwest Saxony region, and is available to you free of charge for your company presentation until June 2023.

As part of the "Talent Transfer" project, the "Spotlight" format was developed as a purely online format. Companies from Saxony introduce themselves to interested students in the form of specialised lectures or company presentations. There is the opportunity to present the company's work (exhibits) to the students. The Career Service supports you in

  • Determining the time and place
  • Providing an online room (we use BigBlueButton for this purpose)
  • Establishing contact with professors
  • Advertising among students

Several companies from one sector or with vacancies in similar fields of study introduce themselves to students directly at the university in smaller event formats. In addition to a short presentation and subsequent exchange of information, the participating companies introduce themselves with short pitches and come into contact with the students in a relaxed atmosphere. The faculties concerned are involved in the design of the events. These events currently take place exclusively online.

Do you still need a cover letter these days? What are no-go's in an application? Do hobbies and interests play a role? What is the advantage of a regional company over a global corporation? 

These and many other questions occupy students when it comes to the topic of applying for an internship or entry-level position with you. You as a company, human resources manager and recruiter are the best people to ask for helpful tips on how to apply. For this reason, we would like to direct the questions directly to you. The interview should be recorded in a short video clip, preferably on your premises, and then made available to our students and graduates.

Become a sponsor of WHZ students with a Deutschlandstipendium!

Support particularly capable and committed students of the West Saxon University of Applied Sciences Zwickau financially and ideally with the Deutschlandstipendium and bind these students to your company at an early stage. Even with a donation of 1800 EUR per year, you support one person with 300 EUR per month - because the federal government finances another 1800 EUR. Half" scholarships or several scholarships are also possible. The scholarship holders are selected by a WHZ selection committee. Under certain conditions, the sponsors can be involved in the selection process.

 

Become a sponsor of WHZ students with a company scholarship!

Here, too, students receive 300 EUR per month as a scholarship. However, the sponsorship is provided exclusively by the company (3600 EUR per year). In return, the selection is made solely by the sponsoring company.

Do you already employ graduates of the West Saxon University of Applied Sciences Zwickau in your company? We are happy to publish a graduate portrait. These will also mention the current company where the graduates are employed. You are welcome to put us in touch with employees in your company who are WHZ graduates. The publication of the profile is of course free of charge and in consultation with the graduates.

Would you like to support academic education in Zwickau in the long term? Then become a member of the university association Mentor e.V. as a company/institution or private person. Among other things, this association supports student projects, academic events, students and also student recruitment. You can find out about the association's activities on its homepage. There you will also find the application for membership.
