Dialoguing with participants
The three exciting days in Leverkusen were followed by two equally as interesting days at the University of Cologne. On Thursday and Friday, all the participants had an opportunity to meet and talk with representatives of the participating companies.
Interactive best describes the activity at the Covestro stand: with the help of a 3D image projected onto the floor, participants could first have their picture taken balancing on test tubes or even drinking from one, and then download it from the internet.
Even the requisite accessories of a chemistry career were available as props: equipped with lab coats, safety glasses and straws, the students got motivated and produced any number of creative photos.
The participants, some of whom had traveled from countries like Mexico, India, Pakistan and United Kingdom to join the event, had a chance before, during and after the photo activity to talk with Covestro representatives. They asked about entry-level career opportunities, such as internships, and about Covestro’s corporate culture and what it is like working there.
