OPPORTUNITIES TO ENCOURAGE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS Employees at ISGUS are highly committed and work at a very high professional level. At the same time, ISGUS employ 15 students and trainees with less or no working experience at all, giving them the chance to become a young professional in a successful company. Every year there is a high demand for apprenticeships and ISGUS are proud to welcome new trainees and students for many years now. Traineeships are offered in the following areas: IT specialists for system integration, application developers, industrial managers and elec- tronics technicians. Students of the dual university gain pratical experience for the following studies: economy, technical management and information technology. Of course, ISGUS also offer various internships for those who do not yet know what they are striving for. In order to facillitate the start into the working life, interns have the possibility to gain first insights into different depart- ments: production, software development, technical support, sales, marketing, export sales, shipping, IT, purchasing, finance & controlling and HR. Jobs for Future With challenging projects, the ISGUS trainees learn how to take responsibility by themselves. One of these pro- jects is organising the participation in a trade fair which is called Jobs for Future. The trade fair takes place once a year and focuses on young adults looking for job oppor- tunities, internships and traineeships. The ISGUS trainees appoint a project manager and allocate the numerous tasks. Deadlines are set and im- plementation is monitored at regular intervals. With the help of a mentor they can always address to, the trainees ensure a successful trade fair presence every year. Girls‘ Day Once a year ISGUS open the doors to give young women insights into the ISGUS world. During this special day, they have the chance to learn more about the company and to inform themselves about occupations which are usually dominated by men: mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology. All four areas are enormously important in the development and production of ISGUS systems and we are pleased to introduce the young women to these occupations.
