Career Day WIAI

As an exhibitor, you have the opportunity to present your company to students as a potential employer.
In addition, you can offer a workshop or presentation in which students can learn more about specific company areas or the processes involved in an application, for example.
Corporate Internship Program
We are constantly looking for cooperation partners who offer four to six month internships in an (international) IT context to give our WIAI students the opportunity to gain experience in an (international) IT company.
Interested companies should agree to provide a certain number of internships per year.
Workshops for pupils
In order to attract more students, the WIAI Faculty has been offering regular workshops for pupils of different age groups since 2005.
The programs are very popular and have helped more than 600 students to discover their talents for computer science:
- BIT – Bamberger Informatik Tag: A whole day full of workshops to inform and try out for pupils from elementary school to high school
- MUT – Mädchen und Technik: Workshops especially for girls of all school types from 10-14 years
- Girls'Day: Workshops especially for girls of secondary schools from grade 8
- I4Kids: Workshops for pre-school and primary school children
- make IT: Pupils of Q11 experience computer science courses at the Faculty WIAI supported by student mentors
The faculty does not have a budget available for the application and implementation of the different workshops. The supervision of the workshops is carried out on an honorary basis by the scientific staff of the Faculty WIAI.
In order to be able to continue the program to the usual extent and quality, the faculty is dependent on additional donations and sponsors. Of course, the supporting companies are mentioned on all advertising material of the workshops.
