Building a strong professional network during your studies is essential if you plan to pursue a career in Germany. Networking connects you with professionals in your field, opens doors to job opportunities, and provides valuable insights into the German job market. Employers in Germany often rely on personal connections and recommendations when hiring, so having a network can significantly increase your chances of finding a job. Moreover, networking helps you stay informed about industry trends, develop mentorships, and build relationships that may lead to collaborations or job offers after graduation.
To start building your network, attend career fairs, networking events, and workshops organized by your university or professional associations. Joining student groups or industry-specific organizations, such as engineering or design societies, can also help you connect with professionals in your field. Internships and part-time jobs provide another opportunity to meet potential mentors and future employers. The Bauhaus Career Navigator offers events and resources to help you develop and expand your professional network, giving you the tools to establish meaningful connections in Germany’s job market.
We are currently working on launching an Alumni Mentoring programme specifically for international students. Stay tuned!
