In addition to visits to the company, Interroll will offer students nearing graduation the opportunity to do internships and write their final theses. Interroll experts will also give guest lectures at the university. In return, Interroll will have the opportunity to publish career opportunities in the university media, participate in career fairs, and establish and maintain intensive, regular contact with graduates of Fontys Venlo.
"We look forward to cooperating with the renowned Fontys University of Applied Sciences and exchanging ideas with talents who are interested in logistics and automation issues," explains Jens Karolyi, who heads the Baal, Germany-based Interroll Academy, which is responsible for the collaboration. "Hardly any other industry currently is as dynamic as intralogistics—both in terms of future technologies and career paths. "
