Career stories: What really makes for a successful career path?

What actually defines a successful life path? In this panel discussion, people from companies in Chemnitz will talk about their personal educational and career paths. They’ll share what they originally studied or trained in, how their careers have evolved, and which experiences, decisions, opportunities, and setbacks have shaped them. Young people will have the opportunity to ask questions directly and engage in conversation with the guests.

The discussion encourages young people not to base their own paths solely on predefined career models. It shows that professional development doesn’t always have to be planned, that curiosity and a willingness to change are important companions throughout life—and that diverse experiences, career shifts, and so-called detours can lead to valuable skills.
