Mentoring programs and qualification measures

Indus­try-rela­ted talent manage­ment has always been an inte­gral part of TUM International’s mis­si­on. We do that by orchest­ra­ting and mana­ging tail­or-made men­to­ring and skill deve­lo­p­ment pro­grams for TUM stu­dents, in clo­se part­ner­ship with com­pa­nies. This is important as, for more than half of TUM’s stu­dents, the foun­da­ti­on for a future care­er is being set alre­a­dy during aca­de­mic stu­dies. The­r­e­fo­re, fos­te­ring clo­se inter­ac­tion bet­ween stu­dents and poten­ti­al employ­ers in the pri­va­te sec­tor opens up exci­ting pos­si­bi­li­ties for future employ­ment.

Such pro­grams make it easy to gain prac­ti­cal expe­ri­ence and insights into com­pa­nies, to gather care­er-rele­vant skills and to build up a pro­fes­sio­nal net­work ear­ly on. They also crea­te value for com­pa­nies scou­ting for talent and see­king to build long-term employ­ment rela­ti­ons with young gra­dua­tes.

By the end of 2021 more than 1,000 stu­dents have par­ti­ci­pa­ted in our talent manage­ment pro­grams, fol­lo­wing a high­ly com­pe­ti­ti­ve sel­ec­tion pro­cess. Some of the com­pa­nies that joi­n­ed our men­to­ring pro­grams are Goog­le, Intel, Knorr-Brem­se, Micro­soft, Roh­de & Schwarz, Wacker Che­mie, Mai­born­Wolff, attemp­to, FAS, IT4IPM, Sie­mens.
