Bertelsmann Chairman and CEO Thomas Rabe said: “The media industry has never been as exciting as it is today – and Bertelsmann is uniquely positioned to actively shape its future. To continue on our growth path, we need cosmopolitan, creative and well-trained individuals with new perspectives and unusual ideas.”
Immanuel Hermreck, Executive Vice President Human Resources of Bertelsmann, said: “After fully a third of participants in last year’s ‘Talent Meets Bertelsmann’ came from outside Germany, this year we are striving for an even larger proportion of international talent. This reflects Bertelsmann’s strategy of further stepping up our activities in growth regions such as China, India and Latin America. Creativity will be a special focus of this year’s event, to highlight the prominent role of creative content for Bertelsmann.”
“Talent Meets Bertelsmann” takes place from June 30 to July 2 this year; it is the seventh time Bertelsmann is organizing the event. As every year, it is also the annual highlight of the media company’s award-winning employer branding campaign, “Create Your Own Career.” In a number of workshops, the participants will among other things develop presentations and present them to a jury of top executives from the Group. The teams with the most compelling presentations win attractive prizes, including several-day trips to the Group’s international sites.
In all, Bertelsmann has hired or granted internships to about 80 top students through the career event, and has created a network of over 350 TMB alumni in recent years.
