What our KIA graduates say:

The combination of training as a skilled worker and studying enabled me to learn many planning basics in numerous specialist areas. This is particularly important in technical building services, so the KIA model is very helpful for my day-to-day work.
Franziska Hahn, electrical planner, Steinigeweg Planungs GmbH, Hoyerswerda
Unlike at university, I wasn't just a number, but part of a brilliant team. So I can say with certainty: the "Deep Thought" supercomputer got it wrong! Because the solution to the question of life, the universe and all the rest is not 42, but KIA
Richard Berge, Head of Software Development SONOTEC GmbH, Halle
A company's innovative strength does not come for free and mainly comes from well-qualified and motivated employees. Our Frequenz Elektro GmbH has therefore successfully relied on KIA for years to recruit young talent.
Mayk Uhlmann, Managing Director of Frequenz-Elektro GmbH, Radeberg
The practical experience in training and in the company, combined with studying at the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences, are the advantages of cooperative engineering training. It was worth it! The university offers good learning conditions, the contact with lecturers was always very personal and the financial support from the partner company also made student life easier. I was able to gain a lot of experience through the KIA course, which made it easier for me to start my career in the training company.
Kay Ehrlich, network construction engineer, envia TEL GmbH, Chemnitz
