Career Day on October 02, 2025

Smart Countries need Smart People

The digitization of society has permanently changed the labor market and poses major challenges for companies. In order to attract the best young talents and most qualified specialists in times of a shortage of skilled workers, companies must position themselves as modern employers. Work-life balance, remote work, flexible working time models and new technology standards are the factors that make up a successful employer branding strategy.

As the largest employer in the federal, state and local governments, the public sector is becoming increasingly popular with young professionals and high potentials. This is because there is a wide variety of employment opportunities and professions in socially relevant areas. With the Career Day on October 102, 2025, the Smart Country Convention offers an excellent opportunity for job seekers and companies to present themselves in person and get to know each other in a variety of formats.
