Germany's Mittelstand: Career paths and job opportunities in small and medium-sized enterprises

Join our co-founder Jana Koehler for a chat with Manoj Barve, the Chairman of the BVMW Representative Office in India (BVMW = German Assocation for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises).

Manoj supports cooperation between Indian and German/European SMEs at various levels like technical and commercial collaborations, joint ventures, and business development. He has lived and worked in Germany himself for many years (in addition to several other countries), so he has first-hand experience about differences in working culture and the expectations of and misconceptions about both German SMEs and international candidates. 

In this career talks episode we will give insights in the following topics:

  • Manoj's personal experience of moving to and living in a small town in Germany and of working for German Mittelstand companies

  • What does the term “Mittelstand” actually mean?

  • What makes these companies particularly attractive as an employer?

  • Which professional profiles have particularly good job prospects with Germany’s Mittelstand and which don’t?

  • What are German Mittelstand companies are looking for regarding candidates nowadays?

  • Do these companies have special characteristics that applicants should be aware of?

  • How do Mittelstand companies differ from corporates and start-ups in terms of work culture?

There will be plenty of time to join in the conversation and ask questions to Manoj and Jana during the webinar.
