The large career fair CONTACT of the THI is aimed at companies, students and prospective students. It takes place annually in May or June at the Saturn Arena in Ingolstadt. Due to the Corona situation, the CONTACT 2020 took place for the first time in a hybrid mode. For 2021, we are planning another hybrid fair - please stay tuned for upcoming infos!
From October 12 to 14, 2020, CONTACT, THI's career and recruiting fair, took place again
- this time with a new concept. Thus, the approximately 30 participating companies used the trade fair app "Talent Finder". This made it possible to find talents in a target group-oriented manner, match, chat and arrange appointments with them in the run-up to the trade fair days. In addition, there was a virtual job wall for job offers. This enabled students to search online for suitable entry-level positions, working student jobs, internships or theses.
But CONTACT was also convincing on site, in the THI auditorium: while observing hygiene rules, personal contacts were established between the renowned companies and the students, who received valuable tips on the topics of jobs, applications and careers. Presentations on the topic of "Rock your Social Media Profile", promotions for job application photos as well as popcorn-to-go rounded off the program.
Thus, the new concept of the fair was very well received by both the companies and the students. CONTACT 2021 can come!
