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.
A central component of the programme is the Employability Pass, which makes acquired competencies visible and documents individual progress.
All FIT events are free of charge. Please be aware that most events have limited spaces and you need to register beforehand. To help us plan our events please let us know if you registered for an event but are unable to join!
