Universities and scientific institutions: high-profile and future-oriented

Broadly diversified, internationally oriented, high-profile and future-oriented: The Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion presents itself as a diverse educational ecosystem that encompasses all types of higher education institutions and a wide range of disciplines, from technology and natural sciences to art and music.
This multifaceted educational landscape reflects not only the proximity to research, but also a pronounced practical orientation. With various study models, including research-related and dual study programs, the region offers a wide range of educational opportunities that pave all paths to success.

Especially in the following areas - the so-called MINT subjects - the research and educational institutions in the region are characterized by outstanding research and innovation activities:

  • Mathematics
  • Computer science
  • Natural sciences
  • Technology

The Karlsruhe institutes, including the renowned Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), have earned an international reputation and are world leaders in their disciplines.

Pioneering research projects are carried out at institutions such as the FOM University of Applied Sciences and the Europa Campus, which are particularly outstanding in the economic field, or the Hochschule für Gestaltung, which is characterized by excellence in research and innovation. The focus here is on interdisciplinary approaches that contribute to the development of innovative solutions for current challenges. The close cooperation between science and industry promotes the transfer of research results into practice and strengthens the region's competitiveness.

Training: practical and dynamic

Innovations create exciting new jobs - also for trainees. Apprenticeships play a decisive role in social development and the sustainable success of the region. The Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion is strongly committed to promoting apprenticeships and offers a wide range of opportunities in both traditional and up-and-coming professions. The Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK), the Karlsruhe Chamber of Skilled Crafts (HWK) and the Wirtschaftsakademie Pfalz are passionately committed to dual vocational training and help to train qualified specialists for the future.

Continuing education

Continuing education is a key aspect of a region's economic development. Continuing education courses such as leadership training for managers are an essential part of a company's competitiveness, which is why such courses are often included in university programs.

The following institutions in the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion offer further training opportunities and courses:

Schools in the TRK

The Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion covers parts of the federal states of Baden-Württemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate, each with their own state-specific school systems. From pre-school to elementary school and all secondary schools, private schools or Waldorf schools, the European School or grammar schools with a special focus such as sport or music, the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion offers the right support for every talent. 

The school landscape at TRK also offers good prospects for international professionals who are planning to bring their families to Germany. Not only are the parents in good hands in the working environment - such as through the dual career service - but the children also receive a wide range of educational opportunities in their new home. An aspect that has a positive effect on the retention of skilled workers. Find out more about the successful integration of international skilled workers and which schools can be found at TRK on the website of the Welcome Center at TRK.  

CareerRegion Karlsruhe

Many companies are currently suffering from a shortage of specialists and managers. In the competition for the best young talent, it is important for companies to actively prevent a further shortage of skilled workers.

The joint project KarriereRegion of TRK and ka-news.de is a good example of win-win cooperation within the framework of the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion's skilled labor alliance.

KarriereRegion.tv - the video job portal of the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion

Finding employees who fit the corporate culture? It's easy with a job video. A job video lets future colleagues speak. They give interested parties a very informal job description and authentic insights into their working environment. A slightly different way to arouse sympathy and interest in the company. 

The KarriereRegion.tv platform, which was created in a cooperation project between the Karlsruhe TechnologyRegion and the DER PUNKT agency, offers employers from the region the opportunity to publish short, authentic 1-minute videos. This allows employers to show their authentic and personal side.
