They advise pupils in Thuringia on all matters relating to studies and careers: careers advisors from the Thuringia Southwest Employment Agency visited the Friedrich Streib Campus of Coburg University of Applied Sciences this week.
The Student Advisory Service had invited them to visit the campus to find out more and establish contact.
For most of them, it was their first visit to Coburg University of Applied Sciences.
The orientation semester and studying with a practice partner aroused particular interest during the networking meeting.
A subsequent tour of the campus with a visit to the bioanalytics laboratory convinced the guests of the good study conditions in Coburg.
Dr. Katja Kessel, Head of Student Advisory & Career Service, was delighted with the visit: “We have been working with the Employment Agency in the area of study and career guidance on a basis of trust for many years. The fact that we can continue to expand our personal network with the advisors in Thuringia is extremely important for us, not least because of the lack of school-leavers in Bavaria in 2025.”
New contacts are made not only due to personnel changes, but also because networks are growing regionally.
Team leader Marcus Pötzschig, consultants for Sonneberg and Hildburghausen as well as colleagues from Meiningen, Eisenach, Schmalkalden and Bad Salza attended the event.
“Coburg University of Applied Sciences – closer than you think!” will apply even more to large parts of Thuringia from June: for the first time, regional trains will run on the ICE route between Coburg-Erfurt, taking just 30 minutes.
“Eisenach-Erfurt-Coburg and back” could therefore be the timetable for new students from Thuringia.
