+ + + Forum provides information on professional and career paths in horticulture

The speakers at the forum will give an overview of their own career paths and what makes up their current working day. This regularly becomes clear:

• The number of career paths and opportunities is much greater than people generally think.
• Career paths often turn out differently than originally planned. This can help you to find a job that suits your own talents and inclinations.
• Where graduates end up professionally often depends on where they have already made contact during their training and studies, for example through an internship.

The contributions of the individual speakers at the forum are short and compact; after all, everyone wants to be out and about at the trade fair for their own program. Anyone interested in further information can contact the speakers after the forum.After the impulse event, the Federal Association of University Graduates/Engineers in Horticulture and Landscape Architecture (BHGL) invites you to take a tour of IPM Essen. This tour will include visits to other companies that present themselves as interesting employers.
