Bold signals for change in Germany

摘要

"Germany needs an innovation-friendly climate that sees change as an opportunity rather than a threat" - this is how Prof. Dr. Ekkehard D. Schulz sizes up the current technology debate in Germany. Let's assume the climate were to change this way. Do you have your eye on the types of young people whose knowledge and skills will meet the demands of ThyssenKrupp? We are eager to foster even greater enthusiasm for technology and technical professions among young people. Of course, many German youths already are planning to take up technical professions, but we need even more of them to meet our future personnel requirements. Year after year, we have many top performers enter our technical training programs. We do our best to keep them on board. At the same time, our training staff tell us about severe shortcomings in the entry tests we conduct with young high-school graduates. We have to team up with schools and tackle these deficits together.
