Collaboration with schools

We believe education is an investment in the future. Supporting and collaborating with schools allows us to actively contribute to the development of technological and digital skills, which are key to the long-term competitiveness of our country.

Where the future is born

Siemens as a partner of schools and universities

Two young men, one focused on a tablet and the other looking at a complex robot, work together at a desk with a laptop.

Our goal is to inspire students to discover their potential and seek innovative solutions to current and future technological challenges. The active participation of our experts in teaching, as well as support for projects and internships, not only provides practical experience but also builds a strong partnership between Siemens and educational institutions. Through our joint efforts, we help prepare the young generation for a successful career in technology fields.

Collaboration with secondary schools

Competition for talented students – Sinumerik CUP

The competition for young technologists and programmers motivates high school students to engage in teamwork, personal responsibility and preparation for future careers. Students from high schools and vocational schools get the opportunity to showcase their CNC programming skills. They gain hands-on experience with modern CNC machines and can compete for attractive prizes.

Supporting secondary schools in low-voltage technology

The Siemens OEZ plant v Letohrad provides low-voltage equipment for educational purposes to secondary schools across the Czech Republic.
