People: Human Resources K>MOBIL 31 // KIRCHHOFF Automotive<br />
Careers exhibition 2008 in Olpe:<br />
Runway to the future<br />
Together with three other member companies of<br />
the association of innovative automotive suppliers<br />
(VIA), KIRCHHOFF Automotive presented itself at<br />
the VIA joint participation booth during the careers<br />
exhibition held in Olpe on 27–28 May 2008. As in<br />
previous years, the automotive supplier presented<br />
the entire range of professions of the future in<br />
Germany. The company is particularly interested in<br />
attracting young people to take up training in the<br />
technical professions. Due to the dwindling number<br />
of school leavers, competition is going to become<br />
tougher in the years to come. It is the task of<br />
companies to inform school leavers with regard to<br />
occupational images, qualifications, trends, opportunities<br />
and prospects for the future. A successfully<br />
completed training in a profession is the first step<br />
to take in climbing the career ladder. In addition, we<br />
give school leavers the opportunity to get to k<strong>now</strong><br />
their future companies, together with their parents<br />
if they so wish, and take up direct contact with us.<br />
Not only school leavers receive information on the<br />
companies offering training and the respective<br />
professions, teachers too can make contacts at the<br />
careers exhibition. Dietmar Epe<br />
Students meet KIRCHHOFF Automotive at the<br />
“konaktiva” in Darmstadt<br />
The company contact exhibition konaktiva, which<br />
took place from 6–8 May 2008 in Darmstadt, was<br />
an excellent platform for KIRCHHOFF to contact<br />
young, qualified talent and to awaken the interest<br />
of young academics in the company at the same<br />
time.<br />
The contact exhibition was held at the re<strong>now</strong>ned<br />
Technical University of Darmstadt and this year<br />
again succeeded in attracting several thousand<br />
visitors.<br />
A great number of interested students from a<br />
variety of specialized fields including mechanical<br />
engineering, IT, logistics and administration came<br />
to our exhibition booth.<br />
The students were particularly interested in our offers<br />
for direct entry, trainee programs, bachelor and<br />
masters theses and practical training.<br />

The participation at the exhibition is one of the<br />
many activities carried out by our personnel marketing<br />
staff who establish early contact to students<br />
in order to present our company. As a result of the<br />
positive response we have also decided to participate<br />
in the konaktiva exhibition taking place in<br />
Dortmund in November 2008. Measures such as<br />
these support us in our efforts to stay on top in the<br />
tough competitive environment for successfully<br />
acquiring specialists.<br />
