Leadership at an early stage – our Young Professionals Programme.

We started supporting young professionals (YPs) in Hamburg in 2020 and launched a similar programme in Berlin in 2022. With our YP Programme, we support young professionals and entrepreneurs from an immigrant background as they take their first career steps.We open doors for them, give them access to our career-building network, strengthen their personality and welcome them into the Schotstek community.As part of one-on-one advisory sessions on careers developments, the YPs get to know the experienced leaders and work with them to plan their next career steps.They also take part in a cultural programme and panel events. What’s more, the YP Programme represents an excellent opportunity to meet fascinating people and make important contacts outside a workplace setting.
