Who are the most attractive employers for students in Germany? 💼   Once a year, Universum sets itself the challenge of finding out. The result: the Student Talent Survey 2024. For Germany this includes more than 30,000 students from over 200 universities in almost 150 areas of study. Among other things, the respondents provided information on the companies they would like to work for, the criteria they use to evaluate employers, their salary expectations and their long-term career goals.   Here are some of the most interesting key learnings for 2024: 💪 Gen Z is just as ambitious as other age groups. There is no evidence that students of this generation are work-shy. 👩 On average, female students expect to earn around €10,000 less per year than their male counterparts when they start their careers. 📈 Secure employment and flexible working conditions gain popularity compared to previous years.   Download the full report, including the Top 50 employers, now: https://lnkd.in/e8yBZuAJ PS, reports are also available for other countries, such as Sweden, the US, UK and many more. #MostAttractiveEmployer #Universum
