Training and supporting the next generation are every company's key functions in order to secure long-term success. For Continental, the ongoing scarceness of qualified engineers provides a special challenge. The Company hires around 1,200 university graduates per year worldwide, up to 30 percent of them in Germany.

Continental continuously invests in the training of young people and systematically promotes the integration of young people to the working world. In addition, the Company and its locations maintain an intensive exchange with universities and research establishments in the whole world as well as a long-term dialogue with both school and higher education students. Here the opinions of the younger workers on topics such as qualification, working hours, career as well as university reforms and the location's competitiveness form the center of the discussions.
