Future Day 2021 - Training at KWS at a glance

Einbeck, 22.04.2021

Dear students, The future and training of young people are important to KWS as an international plant breeding company with roots in southern Lower Saxony. That is why we would like to give you an insight into the various exciting professional fields from IT to mechanics, electronics and commercial professions to plant technology. Last spring, the planned Future Day (Girls' Day and Boys' Day) had to be cancelled at short notice due to the coronavirus pandemic. Face-to-face events are not yet possible again this year either, as the prevention of a possible spread of infection remains the top priority. The state of Lower Saxony is therefore focussing on digital offerings and the Ministry of Education has called on companies to offer pupils a corresponding format as an alternative to the conventional Future Day.
