Four professionally successful TUHH alumni – each with an international background – share their individual learnings with regard to starting a career in Germany:

• What were the decisive steps that lead to their success?
• What do they find remarkable in German business life and which unwritten rules in German working culture had to be identified first tediously, because they were never addressed in a book or course?

Get ready to ask them any questions you might have!

Come and meet our alumni - guests will be announced soon.

Afterwards there will be an opportunity to network over snacks and lemonade.
Be welcome to get in touch with advisors from:

• the Counselling Centre Social & International Affairs (BeSi),
• the TUHH Startup Port,
• and the German Employment Agency.
