Training specialists and teachers together with companies

‘Business meets university’ event presents cooperation models

Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences relies on cooperation with regional businesses to provide its students with practical training. One success factor here is cooperation in the area of teaching, for example through teaching assignments, cooperative professorships and tandem positions. The ‘BeProf@BHV’ project is now inviting interested employers to the event ‘Business meets university - working together to develop specialists and teaching staff’ on Thursday, 14 November, from 10:30 am to 1 pm in event room T002 (Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, An der Karlstadt 8) to highlight opportunities for cooperation based on best practice examples. An optional campus tour with laboratory visits will be offered at 9.15 am. Further information and registration at www.hs-bremerhaven.de/wirtschaft-trifft-hochschule.

Extensive practical knowledge is essential for the training of highly qualified specialists. With teaching staff who are themselves still working in a company, the university ensures that the seminar content always matches the current requirements of the economy. At the same time, students come into contact with potential employers in this way - and thus remain in the region as important young professionals after graduation.

As part of the ‘Business meets university - working together to develop specialists and teaching staff’ event, participants will learn about existing cooperation models in the area of teaching staff development and develop these further together with representatives from the university. The aim is to identify framework conditions with which synergies can be optimally utilised for both sides. ‘We invite interested companies to join us in discussing what teaching-related collaboration could look like and how we can attract, develop and retain the best talent for our region in the long term,’ says Anne Magritz, who heads the “BeProf@BHV” project.
