Particularly in technical fields such as electrical engineering, students benefit enormously if they can immerse themselves in real company environments at an early stage.
Sprecher Automation takes on responsibility
A current example shows how well such partnerships can work. Sprecher Automation, an energy automation and digitalisation company based in Linz, recently "adopted" an HTL class at the Linz Technikum. The aim is to familiarise the students not only with theory, but also with practical knowledge, to awaken their enthusiasm for electrical engineering and to support them on their path to a career.
A wide range of programmes for HTL students
Julian Hintringer, Recruiting Specialist at Sprecher Automation and himself a graduate of this school, is in charge of this commitment. He describes the wide range of offers that await the students in the future: “We have already planned many interesting offers, from company tours and laboratory lessons at our premises to exciting specialist presentations by our colleagues on site at the school.”
A partnership with added value
This partnership is a win-win situation for everyone involved. For the students, it means the chance to gain insights into an innovative technology company, make personal contacts and network with potential employers before they graduate. For Sprecher Automation, in turn, it offers the opportunity to get to know young talent early on and present the company to them as an attractive employer.
