For six months, participants in the NRW-Technikum programme undertake a taster course at Paderborn University and a paid work placement. This gives female students who have passed their (vocational) A-levels the chance to find out whether a degree in the STEM subjects (Mathematics, Computer Science, Naturwissenschaften and Technik) is right for them, and if so, which one. The kick-off event will take place on Tuesday 1 September from 1.30 pm to 3 pm in the foyer of Building P10. Anyone interested can complete registration for the event via the website or by emailing info@nrw-technikum.de. Places are limited.
As well as a welcome address by the University President, Prof. Dr Matthias Bauer, there will also be a talk by a former ‘Technikantin’, who will share her experiences. The new ‘Technikantinnen’ will also be introduced. This will be followed by a guided tour of the ‘Photonic Quantum Systems Laboratory’ (PhoQS Lab), and there will be an opportunity for networking over light refreshments.
Registration for the next NRW-Technikum is still open
Young women can still complete registration for the sixth intake of the NRW-Technikum. The programme provides scientific and practical knowledge to prepare participants for a STEM degree course. Three days a week, the ‘Technikantinnen’ gain an authentic and practical insight into working life in a STEM profession during a paid company placement. On two days a week, they take part in a STEM taster course at Paderborn University. In addition, there is an exciting supporting programme comprising soft skills seminars, laboratory visits, workshops, networking sessions with other ‘Technikantinnen’ and STEM students, as well as excursions for the participants.
Further information on the programme and registration can be found on the NRW-Technikum website.
