HERING in dialogue with the next generation – Sustainability meets career orientation

The HERING Group was invited to take part in a very special career orientation event at the “Gymnasium Am Löhrtor” in Siegen. Students in grade 11 (EF) had independently developed an innovative event format that combined career perspectives with the topic of sustainability.

Alongside HERING, several other regional companies such as Sparkasse Siegen, SIEGENIA, the Friedhelm Loh Group, and the HF Group also took part. The entire event was organized and moderated by the students themselves.

UN Sustainable Development Goals

In small discussion groups, the companies presented their areas of work and career entry opportunities – with a particular focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Each room was dedicated to one specific goal, allowing companies to present their contributions in a targeted way. After a brief discussion round, the guests moved on to the next group of students to explore further aspects.

HERING focused on the following key topics:

Quality Education
Gender Equality
Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
Climate Action

The feedback from more than 150 students from grades 9 to 11 was overwhelmingly positive. HERING, too, was impressed by the professionalism, organization, and dedication of the young generation.

Conclusion: A truly successful event that provided value for all involved. The combination of career orientation and sustainability offered a refreshing new perspective and demonstrated how responsibility begins with dialogue. We thank the school for the invitation and look forward to continuing the conversation next year!
