K+S supports MINT

In his welcoming speech, Joachim Hüttenrauch, Head of Human Resources Europe at K+S, said: "Like other companies, K+S must do a great deal to attract many new apprentices every year. The enthusiasm and interest in MINT topics should be fostered at a very early stage and further promoted at school. Your students are the specialists of tomorrow".

Numerous MINT initiatives at K+S

Since 2013, K+S has been an official partner of the nationwide "MINT Zukunft schaffen" initiative and has already been awarded the "MINT Minded Company" title several times for its MINT commitment. The company promotes both MINT talents and projects. One of the most important projects is the MINT Ambassadors Initiative, in which K+S employees in kindergartens, schools and universities report on their profession in order to attract young people to MINT professions. Mentoring programs as well as various events such as the evening of open training, Technology Day, etc. round off the broad profile of MINT measures at K+S. The company offers a variety of apprenticeships and dual courses of study in the MINT field. More information can be found at: www.kpluss.com/en-us/career/
