Because female specialists are in demand like never before. Not only female technicians who are already working can take part in the current edition of the “Girls!

The aim is for the applicants to convey their enthusiasm for the technology and their joy in their training or their profession in short videos they have made themselves. And with that – in line with the message “You can do technology too!” – Inspire potential young professionals.
“Jobs in electrical engineering, information technology and the energy industry are full of exciting opportunities. Who better to communicate this than women who are already successful in the industry?” says Peter Reichel, OVE Secretary General. “I’m looking forward to numerous inspiring role models for the female specialists of the future once more this year.”
