Global Skills Collide with Local Job Prospects

The Regensburg region is taking significant strides to recognise and foster the potential of international students, as evidenced by a recent event hosted by Invenio, a leading development partner for innovative technical solutions.

Funded by the Bavarian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, the event offered a unique opportunity for international students to establish direct contacts with potential employers in the region. Invenio showcased exciting projects in the fields of engineering and digitalisation, providing concrete entry opportunities for young talent from all over the world.

Roland Weiß, an economic developer, emphasised the importance of such cooperations, stating that networking international students with regional companies creates a win-win situation for the companies, students, and the location Regensburg. Jürgen Schiller, site manager of Invenio in Regensburg, reiterated this sentiment, stating that personal exchange is important to the company and that they are always looking for motivated, well-trained specialists, regardless of origin or nationality.

The event was one of the measures within the framework of the project "Erhöhung des Beschäftigungspotenzials" (Increase of Employment Potential). It was part of a joint strategy to retain qualified international graduates in the region in the long term, as securing skilled workers is one of the central challenges of the current time.

The visit to Invenio was part of a series of future events aimed at introducing international specialists to the regional labor market early on. The event served as a testament to the region's commitment to recognising and fostering the potential of international students, and as a continuation of efforts to retain qualified international graduates in the region in the long term.

Katja Eckardt and Jhoana Palacio-Pineda, both involved in the project, emphasised the importance of such cooperations, stating that the region is actively committed to recognising and fostering the potential of international students. The event showcased the region's efforts to actively commit to recognising and fostering the potential of international students, and was a valuable opportunity for students to get to know potential employers and establish direct contacts.

Despite the search results not providing specific information on which additional companies are participating in the project "Erhöhung des Beschäftigungspotenzials", or listing upcoming events specifically designed to connect international professionals early with the regional labor market, the event marked a significant step forward in the region's commitment to embracing international talent.

In conclusion, the event at Invenio underscores the Regensburg region's dedication to fostering the potential of international students and providing opportunities for them to connect with regional employers. As the region continues to invest in initiatives like these, it is poised to become an attractive destination for international students and professionals alike.
