According to the results of a survey of around 13,000 people working in 17 sectors, Volkswagen is Germany’s most attractive employer.
The survey, conducted by Focus news magazine and the Xing professional and career network, initially covered 820 companies with 1,000 or more employees.
In the second stage of the survey, 6,300 employees from 17 sectors were asked for their assessment of employers.
Participants could give assessments of their own employers and companies in the same sector on which they felt competent to voice an opinion. Following this stage, 379 companies were still in the running. Volkswagen took first place not only in its own sector but also in the survey as a whole.
Each year, the Volkswagen Group recruits around 10,000 recent university graduates as well as more than 3,500 apprentices.
Applicants from disciplines including the following have good prospects: electric traction, lightweight design, vehicle electronics, mechatronics, electrical engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, sciences, industrial engineering and economics and business studies.
