Answers to this question were provided by the Connect38 networking event, which recently took place at DenkRaum Braunschweig.

The event was conceived, organised and run by students from the Master\u2019s programme in Digital Communication and Media Technologies (TU Braunschweig) and the Bachelor\u2019s programme in Media Studies (HBK Braunschweig). They were supported by DenkRaum Braunschweig, the Braunschweig Public Insurance Association and the Braunschweig University Association. The aim was to provide students with easy access to potential employers from the region and to offer insights into a wide range of career fields within the media and communications sector.<\/p>\n<h3>Networking Bingo and Speed Networking<\/h3>\n<p>Following a welcome address by Professor Taddicken, who emphasised the role of professional communication in society and the world of work, the focus shifted to personal interaction. A game of Networking Bingo helped break the ice before students and company representatives engaged in conversation during the speed networking session. During these sessions, participants gained insights into career paths and professional prospects, learnt about work placements and entry-level opportunities, and made their first professional contacts.<\/p>\n<div id=\"new-royalslider-775\" class=\"royalSlider new-royalslider-775 rsDefaultInv rsContentSlider\" style=\"width:100%;height:500px;;\" data-rs-options='{&quot;template&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;image_generation&quot;:{&quot;imageWidth&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageHeight&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;thumbImageWidth&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;thumbImageHeight&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;thumbs&quot;:{&quot;thumbWidth&quot;:96,&quot;thumbHeight&quot;:72},&quot;video&quot;:[],&quot;block&quot;:{&quot;moveOffset&quot;:20,&quot;speed&quot;:400,&quot;delay&quot;:200},&quot;width&quot;:&quot;100%&quot;,&quot;height&quot;:500,&quot;autoHeight&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;imageScaleMode&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;imageAlignCenter&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;controlNavigation&quot;:&quot;tabs&quot;,&quot;globalCaptionInside&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;keyboardNavEnabled&quot;:&quot;true&quot;,&quot;fadeinLoadedSlide&quot;:&quot;false&quot;}'>\n<div class=\"rsSlideRoot\">\n  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"rsImg\" src=\"https:\/\/magazin.tu-braunschweig.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Bild2_1500-1200x800.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/>\n  <div class=\"rsTmb\"><\/div>\n  \n  <h3><\/h3>\n  <p>Connect38 entstand im Rahmen eines Projektmanagement-Seminars.
