written byRebecca EtteNews

From 19 February, it's that time again: HIK GmbH (today HIS Industries) is bringing a buzz back to the classroom at the Odenwald Career Information Days (OBIT).

What is OBIT?

Since 2008, eighth and ninth grade students in the Odenwald region have had the opportunity to learn first-hand about training and study opportunities at regional companies.

With over 40 years of experience, HIK GmbH is one of the established companies in the electrical industry and offers a wide range of career paths.

Start Your Career at Full Power

From our training positions as mechatronics engineers, IT specialists, or industrial electricians to our expertise in cable assembly or switch cabinet construction. In two 45-minute workshops, we provide insights into our training occupations and areas of expertise.

It's not just about theory, but about real-world practice. Our workshops offer the opportunity to get to know training occupations in a very concrete way. That's why we have hands-on technology in the classroom. Some things are easier to understand when you test them yourself.

Note on the company structure

This post was originally published under the brand HIK GmbH. Since the merger of HIK GmbH and HIS Renewables GmbH, both companies are now operating together under HIS Technology GmbH. The business areas are now operated under the names HIS Industries (formerly HIK Solutions) for industrial and cabling solutions, and HIS Renewables for solar and energy solutions. Therefore, earlier company and brand names may still be used in this post.
