Recruiting of young academics

Cooperation with Budapest Polytechnic

December 2006

Lufthansa Technik Budapest plans to promote the training of young Hungarian engineers in cooperation with Budapest Polytechnic.
This is one of the results which arose from a mid- November congress held in the Hungarian Capital and attended by senior Hungarian Government, university and business representatives.
These included the State Secretary for Higher Education and Science and Hungarian Minister of Education and Culture Prof. Károly Manherz as well as the Rector of Budapest Polytechnic Imre J. Rudas.
Lufthansa Technik was represented by the Head of human resources marketing and talent management Hans-Hellmuth Retzlaff- Schroeder and Marek Wernicke, CEO of Lufthansa Technik Budapest (left to right).
Marek Wernicke said: "We want to continue to grow, so we need more engineers in the future. We need an early contact with young academics through Budapest Polytechnic to offer them practical experience and the opportunity to prepare their diploma thesis. In addition, we also need a lot of qualified mechanics. We took advantage of this meeting to discuss ideas for industrial training with Government representatives."
