Useful content and successful staff recruitment

"Project work has delivered important results that have been implemented directly in practice. In addition to useful content, this work is also ideal for successful staff recruitment. Both sides meet within a limited framework, which creates a high level of clarity regarding offers and expectations in the event of subsequent hiring. Last but not least, cooperation with the FHNW always leads to a new, fresh way of thinking, which helps you to open up your own perspective."
