Young Academy @HSBA Kicks off Second Round

Last Saturday, HSBA welcomed the new students for its business compact course.

"A sound knowledge of economics and initial contacts in Hamburg's business community are a good starting point for a successful start to your professional life," said HSBA President Prof. Dr. Insa Sjurts at the farewell ceremony for the first graduating class of Young Academics in the middle of the year. The new generation of students, who came to HSBA last Saturday with great expectations and anticipation for the start of the Business Compact course, would now also like to benefit from this.

Colin Rawlins, Head of Executive Education at HSBA, is pleased about the great interest: "We were able to increase the number of participants by 50%.  We now have two courses that alternate on Saturdays in eight modules that lay important foundations for a career in business and offer students a clear orientation for their professional future."

With 8 Saturdays and a total of 32 teaching hours, the compact course can also be easily completed parallel to the challenges of school. In addition, fireside chats are organised at the partner companies such as Ernst & Young, ECE or Allianz Trade, where the companies introduce themselves and deepen the current topic from the learning modules with selected examples. The course starts in January and August.

Thanks to the generous support of the Ingeborg Gross Foundation, the Hapag-Lloyd Foundation, the Nissen Foundation and other sponsors such as Ernst & Young, ECE Group Services, Allianz Trade, Jungheinrich, Signal Iduna, V.Group and Hamburg Süd, various scholarships can be offered to finance the course.

Next course start: January 2023
Application deadline: December 2022
Pupils from 16 to 19 years
