Many opportunities: The career event for the public sector
The digitization of society is a process of change which is also transforming the labor market in a sustainable manner. One of the major challenges is the „War for Talents“. To attract the best young talents and the most qualified specialists, companies must act as modern employers. Work life balance, remote work, flexible working time models and new technology standards are the buzzwords that make up a successful employer branding strategy.
The digital change in society and working life creates new demands on job, career and recruiting, but also a cultural change in the choice of employer. As the largest employer of federal, state and local authorities, the public sector is becoming increasingly popular for young professionals and high potentials because of the wide variety of employment opportunities and professions in socially relevant areas.
Five good reasons for your career in the public sector

The public sector is the largest employer in Germany: Federal, state and local authorities employ over 4.6 million people.
2. More than 130 training occupations
