Network Energy Talents connects companies, institutions, educational organisations, universities and young STEM talent. As a non-profit association, we provide guidance, practical relevance and visibility for the skilled professionals of tomorrow.
The energy transition needs people who develop ideas, take responsibility and drive change. Because grids, plants, storage systems and digital solutions only create real progress with qualified skilled professionals.
At the same time, many young STEM talents are still not familiar enough with the wide range of career opportunities in the energy sector. This is exactly where Network Energy Talents comes in: we connect them with companies, universities and institutions that actively shape the energy future.
Companies connect with STEM talent before concrete application decisions are made.
Projects, tasks and career paths become tangible in an authentic, hands-on way. This helps young people form a clearer picture of what it’s like to work in the energy sector.
Companies show the role they play in the energy transition and why it’s worth joining them. At the same time, they position themselves as attractive employers in a future-relevant environment.
Students gain concrete insights into career fields and prospects in the energy sector. This makes it easier to identify their own interests and discover possible career paths.
Course content is complemented by real projects, companies and practical examples. This makes future topics more tangible and links specialist content more closely to career prospects.
Universities and educational institutions build valuable connections with companies and future topics. This can lead to long-term collaborations, practical insights and new opportunities for students.
NET supports young people as they take their first steps towards the future. We open doors to the energy sector, make opportunities visible and show just how much shaping power there is in technical professions.
To do this, we bring together talent, companies, universities and institutions. This creates insights, guidance and new perspectives – for hands-on talent development with long-term impact.
01
Partners show the role they play in the energy transition and the career prospects they offer. This creates authentic insights into an industry that often still feels too abstract for young people.
02
NET reaches young people across different educational pathways: from school and vocational training to university and career entry. Partners connect early with talent interested in STEM, energy and future technologies.
03
Companies position themselves as attractive employers in a future-relevant industry. Universities strengthen their practical relevance and their role as a place of learning for the energy transition.
04
NET grows the whole pie. Instead of competing only for existing applicants, the network creates early interest in the energy sector.
Partners can support NET professionally, organisationally or financially. Companies and public bodies usually support the association’s work through membership or sponsorship.
01
Initial contact & potential
In an initial conversation, we get to know your organisation, your goals and possible points of connection. The main aim is to find out how your topics and perspectives fit into the NET network.
02
Goals & impact
We then clarify what impact the partnership should have. This could be, for example, greater visibility among young talent, more practical relevance for students, or a contribution to long-term skills development.
03
Formats & participation
Based on this, we jointly select suitable ways to get involved. Options include expert inputs, events, mentoring, social media insights, campus formats or site visits.
04
Network & visibility
As soon as the right formats are defined, the concrete collaboration begins. Your organisation becomes part of the network, contributes its own impulses and exchanges with talent, universities, companies and institutions.
NET makes guidance tangible – through personal encounters, authentic insights and concrete practical relevance. This creates connections between talent, companies and universities that spark interest and make opportunities in the energy sector visible.
01
Exchange on the energy transition, job profiles, technologies and career paths
02
Direct encounters with young talent in relevant places
03
Content that makes energy-transition topics easier to understand and links them to career prospects

Read moreThe energy sector faces a double challenge: on the one hand, grids, plants, storage systems, digital systems and new business models must be further developed. On the other hand, there is a shortage of qualified skilled professionals in many places who can actively shape this transformation. The shortage of STEM professionals is therefore one of the biggest bottlenecks in the energy transition.
Talent development doesn’t start only at career entry. Young people need early guidance, visible role models and authentic insights into technical professions. This is exactly where Network Energy Talents comes in. NET brings together companies, universities, chambers of commerce and industry (IHK), institutions and students so that young talent can get to know the opportunities in the energy sector better and consciously choose a path in this future field.
Individual initiatives are important, but in the long term they are not enough. Sustainable talent development needs shared structures, reliable partners and cross-organisational collaboration. NET provides a platform for this, where stakeholders in the energy sector can pool their strengths.
Network Energy Talents connects young talent with the energy sector. Systematically, sustainably and hands-on. The association sees itself as a networking and exchange platform between companies, universities, chambers of commerce and industry (IHK), institutions and the student body.
The focus is not on filling individual positions in the short term, but on inspiring young people for STEM, energy and technical future tasks in the long term. The association provides guidance, informs about job profiles and shows how diverse the energy sector is.
Through events, dialogue formats, social media insights, trade fair appearances and a mentoring programme in development, young talent gain concrete insights into practice, career paths and future topics. This creates a network that strengthens the skills base of the entire energy sector.
Network Energy Talents develops formats that inform, inspire and connect young people with the energy sector. Practical relevance, exchange and low-threshold access are at the core.
Network Energy Talents is organised as a non-profit association. The focus is on talent development, guidance and social impact. NET does not pursue one-sided corporate interests and is not a platform where individual partners are meant to dominate.
The balance of the network is strengthened by the Executive Board and the Board of Trustees. Different perspectives from business, science, education and practice come together. This creates a neutral space in which partners work together to inspire young people for the energy sector.
Especially for companies, universities and public institutions, this structure offers an important advantage: collaboration is built on a credible, long-term and public-benefit-oriented foundation.
A partnership with Network Energy Talents is suitable for companies in the energy sector and adjacent fields that want to reach young STEM talent early and inspire them for technical future tasks. This includes, among others, grid operators, energy suppliers, technology companies, engineering service providers, industrial companies, start-ups and other organisations connected to the energy transition.
Through NET, partner companies can make their role in the energy transition visible, communicate job profiles authentically and position themselves as attractive employers in a future-relevant industry. It’s not just about recruiting, but about long-term talent development for the entire sector.
NET helps companies reach young people across different educational pathways: at school, in vocational training, at university and in the transition into practice.
For universities and educational institutions, Network Energy Talents is a partner to strengthen practical relevance, career orientation and networking in the field of the energy transition. Collaboration is particularly relevant for technical faculties, STEM degree programmes, career services, start-up centres, research areas and university initiatives related to energy, technology, digitalisation or sustainability.
Through NET, students gain insights into specific job profiles, companies and projects in the energy sector. Universities can link their degree programmes more closely to practical perspectives and offer their students additional guidance for entering the workforce.
At the same time, universities position themselves as modern education partners that not only address future topics academically, but also actively connect them with business and society.
Partners of Network Energy Talents can get involved in different ways. Participation depends on their own goals, resources and areas of expertise.
Possible contributions include expert inputs, talks, practical examples, insights into job profiles, company visits, campus formats, panel discussions, mentoring, trade fair appearances or support for social media formats. Expertise for teaching materials or information offerings can also be valuable.
In addition, companies and public bodies can support NET’s work through membership or sponsorship. This creates a stable foundation for long-term talent development, new formats and the further development of the network.
Network Energy Talents wants to make it easier for young people to access the energy sector. That’s why participation in NET formats is free of charge for interested young talent in most cases. This reduces barriers to entry and enables guidance regardless of individual background.
For companies, universities, institutions and other legal entities, membership is generally required. Membership supports the long-term work of the non-profit association and enables the development of effective formats for talent development, networking and knowledge transfer.
Partners thus become part of a network that not only implements individual measures, but creates sustainable structures for recruiting skilled professionals in the energy sector.
After you get in touch, we will contact you promptly for an initial conversation. We will get to know your organisation/company, your goals and possible points of connection for a partnership. Together, we will review how you can contribute meaningfully to the NET network and which formats suit you.
A partnership usually begins with a personal exchange. We then jointly develop suitable ways to get involved, for example an expert input, an event format, a social media insight, a site visit or participation in mentoring. From initial joint activities, a long-term collaboration can gradually develop step by step.
The effort depends on the desired form of involvement. Some partners contribute selectively with a talk, a practical example or an exchange format. Others engage more long-term through events, mentoring, teaching materials or network activities. What matters is this: the collaboration should fit your resources, topics and goals.
Partners can support NET in different ways: professionally, organisationally, communicatively or financially. Possible options include talks, panel discussions, company or campus visits, trade fair formats, mentoring, social media insights, practical examples, contributions to teaching materials or support through membership and sponsorship.
