Companies
Collaboration with companies in the vicinity of the school and in Germany not only play an important role in financially supporting activities of all kinds at GISW, but above all in providing students with valuable experiences in career orientation and technical training. Through recurring excursions, company internships, participation in career fairs and introductions to apprenticeships during the lecture series by instructors and trainees, the young people gain insights into working life and economic contexts. Working directly with technicians and engineers, students can carry out practical projects that would not be possible in the regular school day.
Younger students benefit from field trips and direct guidance from experts in implementing environmental projects at school.
Examples:
- Career information field trips
- Partnership as part of the Makeathon
- Partnership with the Recycling Center - Montgomery County, Maryland
