Forging International Talents – FIT in Siegen

The FIT project  supports international students at the University of Siegen from the beginning of their studies through to their transition into the labour market. Through workshops, counselling and networking opportunities, FIT helps students develop academic, language and personal skills and facilitates their entry into the German labour market.
