For companies
We build bridges between you and our students at the interface where university studies meet work/practice. To do this, we offer various formats, cooperation arrangements and settings.

About us
Our goals
................................................................................................................................................................................................
At the Career Service, we aim to help our students and graduates do the following:
- Get in touch with potential employers
- Obtain insights into companies, sectors, professions and types of work
- Become familiar with application procedures and standards
- Network with future colleagues
- Profit from the expertise of experts from the field
To do this, we have developed various formats, cooperation arrangements and settings and integrated them into our Career Service portfolio. Have a look below to see what this might look like in practice, and talk to us about a potential cooperation arrangement! Feel free to tell us about your suggestions, topics and offers.
Our target groups and topics
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Our workshop programme and advising offers mean that we are in close contact with our target groups: Bachelor's and Master's students as well as graduates and alumni. We know what their needs and interests are. Against this backdrop, we look for external cooperation partners for specific topics related to starting a career.
Event development
................................................................................................................................................................................................
We closely coordinate all of our events and practical projects in advance with our cooperation partners. Thanks to our close contact with our target groups, we have a good sense of which topics and offers are suitable and in demand – and we advise you accordingly. In general, we carry out planning for the next semester in the semester currently underway.
Communication and marketing
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Whether as a practice partner through 'Project management in practice', as a sponsor for a photoshoot or as a workshop provider, we position you strongly as an employer brand within the overall Career Planning Centre programme. Cooperation arrangements are communicated through the following channels:
- Our website (incl. logo, company profile and entry-level opportunities)
- Our newsletter (circulation: over 18,000 current students and graduates)
- The Career Planning Centre's social media accounts
Recruiting
................................................................................................................................................................................................
We do not organise any recruiting events, company networking events or company presentations!
Our multifaceted events are not intended for recruiting. Instead, they are formats that provide students with authentic insights into companies, fields of work and colleague teams. This allows us to build bridges between companies as potential employers and students as potential employees and colleagues.
Costs
................................................................................................................................................................................................
At the Career Planning Centre, it's not money that changes hands – but rather expertise! We value the fact that you send us your experts on specific topics. We also value the fact that we work together with you as well versed equals.
Job postings
................................................................................................................................................................................................
If you would like to advertise a job posting, please get in touch with our contact person at stellenwerk: Catharina Türling (Tel. +49 40. 428 38 - 88 87 oder catharina.tuerling (at) stellenwerk (dot) de).
We are also happy to draw attention to your job posting within the framework of our working relationships via careerservice (at) haw-hamburg (dot) de. This does not include widely distributed or target-group specific notices, distribution via the HAW Hamburg-wide mailing list to all/selected degree courses, social media posts or online placement.

Career Service programmes and cooperation formats

Training sessions/workshops
................................................................................................................................................................................................
A central pillar of our work is our comprehensive workshop programme for the acquisition of specialist and core skills. To supplement our offers, we invite experts from business settings who carry out training sessions or workshops on specific skill areas. As an example, your in-house trainers can get involved in the areas of communication or project management. Or human resources specialists from your company can share their expertise and help students ensure they're prepared for job interviews, assessments and all the other elements of the application process.
Case studies
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Here you provide a real or approximated example of a task from your everyday work. Students and graduates learn from the case, get a picture of the topics and areas of work covered by your company, and can enter into dialogue with your experts, either on site or at the Career Service offices. Contacts can be made in the process. You can also invite a representative from the human resources department or other colleagues to report on their work areas.
Field trips / career exploration
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Here you have the opportunity to introduce your company at your premises and invite students and graduates to participate in facility tours, case studies, workshops, etc. Management staff introduce the department/s they are responsible for, and staff explain their areas of work. HAW Hamburg alumni are welcome to share their career-entry success stories. Students have the opportunity to ask questions, either during the formal event or over a snack at a relaxed meet-and-greet afterwards. Alongside these activities, your human resources department discusses opportunities for joining your company and provides both general and company-specific tips for applying for a position.
Project management in practice (PIP) qualification programme
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Here you submit a project for HAW Hamburg students to complete in an interdisciplinary team of six to eight people. The students are prepared for the practice phase with two workshops on the topic of project management, and a Career Service staff member supports them as they work on the project. You assign a designated contact person. The presentation of the results takes place on site at your company. At the conclusion of the project, students have the opportunity to obtain the basic certificate in project management from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement (German Society for Project Management).
Photo shoot for job applications and social media
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Here you facilitate a high-quality photo shoot for our students' job applications. The students have the chance to have professional application photos taken free of charge, and you position your employer brand in a charming setting. The number of sessions you would like to sponsor is up to you (between 30 and 70 individuals).
The offer includes the photo shoot, the on-screen selection of one photo from 20 to 24 photos, retouching, and the subsequent provision of four different variations of the image selected. The rights to use are granted exclusively to the person photographed so that they can use them as they choose for XING, LinkedIn, their own homepage or their application documents.
You can also choose to offer application checks on the same day. This means you provide constructive feedback on all of a student's (German and/or English) application documents.
Please note: This is not a recruiting event!
Mock interviews, application checks, and CV and cover letter check
................................................................................................................................................................................................
Here you help students and graduates practice for job interviews and/or provide constructive feedback on their application documents – in German, English, French or Spanish. Through this offer, you supplement our advising and training offers and give students the chance to practice in a different way with 'real' HR professionals. What is important to us is that you give our participants constructive feedback from an alternative perspective.
This is also not a recruiting event! We are asking you to draw on your expertise to provide valuable feedback on students' application documents and how they present themselves.

Getting involved in the Career Service's PMplus qualification programme
Your expertise is in demand!
In our PMplus qualification programme, students have the opportunity to deepen their knowledge of project management. You will be given a prominent role: we integrate project managers with different functions and positions in various businesses and sectors into the programme. They contribute a range of project management topics. In doing so they provide the PMplus participants, who come from various Bachelor's and Master's degree courses, insight into the practice of project management and demonstrate areas of application and best practice models.
Your project assignment for the 'Project management in practice' (PIP) qualification programme
In the Project management in practice (PIP) programme, students work on a practical project in an interdisciplinary team. You submit a current task or issue from your company for this purpose. The participants complete the project and present their results on site at your company. At the conclusion of the project, students have the opportunity to obtain the basic certificate in project management from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Projektmanagement (German Society for Project Management).
