Supporting International Talents @ BTU

Project overview

The project is implemented through a cooperation between the International Relation Office (IRO), the Career Center and the Language Center (Sprachenzentrum). It is aimed at expanding and further developing the support structures for international students at BTU.

The overall project consists of the sub-projects Ensuring Academic Success, Employability and Labour Market Integration. The International Relations Office and the Language Centre implement measures to ensure academic success, such as new formats during the OTIWO and strengthen welcome structures. The Career Centre and the Language Centre develop offers for the employability of international students. These include specialised language courses, information events on careers in Germany and job application workshops. The Career Centre is also in charge of the ‘Labour Market Integration’ sub-project and is developing a matching tool and building local networks as part of this.
