We would like to get to know you as a person during the selection interviews. We are interested in who you are and what motivation you have for participating in the LTA. This is not a technical interview.

The selection interviews last approx. 30 minutes per applicant and take place in Karlsruhe. We will inform you of the exact date once we have received positive feedback on your application documents.

We would like to point out that the selection interviews will only take place during the specified period and cannot be postponed. We can offer online appointments in exceptional cases with a verifiable justification.

In the week following the personal interviews, you will receive feedback from us as to whether you can take part in the Leadership Talent Academy this year. Please also check your spam folder here.

We ask for your understanding that, due to the large number of applications, we are unable to provide detailed information on the reasons for any rejections. If you are currently unable to participate, we look forward to receiving your application for the next round!
