Partnerships that shape the future

Our collaborations with companies range from selective cooperation in research, teaching or recruiting to strategic partnerships – the closest form of cooperation with IMC Krems.

These partnerships create long-term added value: companies benefit from scientific expertise, practical training, direct access to talent and a strong positioning as innovation partners.

This is how we create a network that shares knowledge, develops potential and shapes the future – together with our partners.

By cooperating in areas such as research, educational projects, internships or joint communication activities, we create win-win situations – for our partner companies as well as for students and teachers.

Companies benefit from a strong network, image enhancement and continuous recruitment opportunities, while our students gain valuable insights into practice. This is how future-oriented partnerships are created.

Education partnerships

Our education partners provide practical experience in teaching. Companies and experts actively participate in course design through guest lectures, joint project work, and thesis supervision. This creates a lively exchange between the university and the business world, from which both students and teachers benefit.

Regular contributions from the world of work ensure that our course content remains up to date and promote the employability of our students. At the same time, education partners gain valuable insights into current research and teaching – and can actively contribute to further developing our courses through their input.

This is how we create a programme with a strong practical focus that optimally prepares students for the requirements of the job market.

Recruiting partnerships

Our recruiting partners benefit from direct access to highly qualified students and graduates of IMC Krems. Companies conclude recruiting agreements as a partner or premium partner on JobTeaser, our digital career platform, and present themselves as attractive employers, establishing valuable contacts with future talent at an early stage.

In addition to a presence on our digital career platform, we offer a wide range of exclusive recruiting formats – from job and career fairs to topic-specific networking events. This allows us to create practical encounters between students, alumni and companies.

Recruiting partnerships not only strengthen visibility and reputation as an employer but also contribute to the long-term employability of our graduates. Regular exchanges on labour market trends generate mutual added value for companies, students and universities alike.
