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 />
