Broad network and strong industry integration

The HSZG works with more than 100 cooperation companies and regularly organizes events such as training alliances and conferences to discuss future cooperation potential and improvements in training. This strong network underlines the high level of acceptance and trust in the industry.

Dynamic region

The HSZG is located in the heart of Europe. Thanks to its close proximity to "Silicon Saxony" and the Saxon semiconductor clusters, the region is a hotspot for innovation.

Long-term commitment

Thanks to the KIA model, students become part of the company for several years right from the start, which results in a high level of identification, long-term loyalty, lower drop-out rates and fewer wrong appointments.

Exclusive access to international students

Our own preparatory college in Zittau offers foreign applicants from all over the world linguistic and professional preparation before starting their studies. In this way, your company secures its own international talent pipeline.

Job-ready graduates

By dovetailing professional practice and studies, our students develop a deep understanding of the interrelationships. Long onboarding phases are eliminated and they can be put to productive use quickly.
