Fascinating insights into MCI's technology programs

An exciting career orientation day awaited nearly 40 students from all over Tyrol under the motto: "How do I become a problem solver of global challenges?"

Under this guiding principle, the young women took on the role of problem solvers of global challenges such as:

the effects of climate change
digital transformation
robust supply chains
circular economy
the future of mobility and work
quality healthcare

Seven stations gave an insight into different topics and the respective related study programs. Possible career profiles were presented and hands on learning activities invited the students to participate.

The seven technical study programs at the MCI provide the basis for future careers in a wide range of industries. This day is intended to give the students a broad insight into the diverse and interdisciplinary world of technical careers, and the interactive practical examples are sure to leave a long lasting impression.
