Feedback from participants
“I had the great honour of participating in the Welcome Center Rhine-Neckar’s coaching program. I have learned how to network, and I am getting help revising my CV. I can highly recommend this program to all internationals who are interested in a job in Germany and don’t yet know where to start”.
Youye Song, MBA Candidate, Mannheim Business School
“Based on my own experience, I can fully recommend individual coaching. At the beginning of the interview, my CV was carefully checked. Then I received a lot of valuable advice on how to improve my CV. In addition, I had the opportunity to ask questions that had long been of interest to me for example on applications and on how to approach companies. I am extremely grateful for the support I received through the coaching of the “International Students Welcome” initiative.”

“Bridging the gap” for international economists
Despite having a university degree, people who come to us from abroad are often not well integrated into the local labour market. In order to counter this situation, the city of Mannheim, in cooperation with the IQ Network Baden-Württemberg, the Graduate School Rhine-Neckar and the Rhine-Neckar Welcome Center, have developed this qualification program to facilitate the integration of the participants into the local labour market and to increase their chances of finding a position in accordance with their qualifications. For further information please contact: Rolf Schäfer (Fachbereich für Wirtschafts- und Strukturförderung (Tel.: +49 621 293-3355, email: rolf.schaefer@mannheim.de).
