Feedback from participants


When I approached the ICS-RM, I was looking for a suitable combination of my studies in urban planning and sustainable development and a working student position. In the individual counseling sessions, the career coaches not only gave me valuable advice for a more effective job search, but also helped me to better define my professional interests and formulate my professional goals more clearly. I am happy to rate this career service with 5 out of 5 stars and would like to thank ICS-RM for their support!

Ezra Garcia, Student M.Sc. Sustainable Urban Development

Through the ICS RM, I had the opportunity to register for several incredibly beneficial events. The experts leading the sessions were knowledgeable and provided valuable, relevant insights. I gained a deeper understanding of personal branding and networking, and I feel prepared to attend my first assessment center based on the information and tips I gained from the session about mastering assessment centers in Germany! I would highly recommend the events offered by ICS RM to anyone looking to successfully navigate the job market in Germany.

Nikita Maria Anatharackal, Student M.A. Data and Discourse Studies

The offers from ICS RM really helped me to find my internship at a major bank. I found the suggestions for employers and positions where I had a good chance of getting a job based on my profile particularly helpful, as well as the correction of my cover letter and CV.

Ahmad Mohammadinezhad, student

The event was really inspiring and I am thrilled with the input and insights I was able to gain. I was really pleased to receive feedback on my idea and hear some other pitches.
The feedback on my idea was very helpful and opened up new perspectives for me. I am now even more motivated to develop my project further.

The aim of the ICS RM

What drives us:

Developing solutions for the known problems and bringing international students and graduates together with companies - a win-win situation for all sides!

The decline in the number of employed skilled workers could amount to 3.1 million by 2024, which corresponds to 8.8 %. With International Career Service Rhein-Main (ICS RM), we aim to positively describe these developments and act as an interface to the economy and public administration.

Through cooperation with an external advisory board - consisting of high-ranking representatives from business, public administration and politics - and close exchange with our cooperation partners, we create a sustainable structure that acts as a bridge between international graduates and companies.

Students from Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and non-migrant students from the above-mentioned universities can also take part in courses that are not fully booked. students with an international or intercultural background

Who are students with an international or intercultural background?

 Students with an international or intercultural background are people,

  • who were born abroad and immigrated to Germany to study or live, and/or,
  • of whom at least one parent was born abroad and immigrated to Germany and/or
  • whose everyday language in the family is not only German.
Why are the offers particularly aimed at students with an international or intercultural background?
The International Career Service Rhein-Main is funded by the European Social Fund via the funding program "Using international potential - shaping transitions from studies to work" of the Hessian Ministry of Science and the Arts (HMWK). The program is primarily intended to support students with an international or intercultural background from the aforementioned joint universities in order to increase equal opportunities.
I have no immigration history, what now?
If the courses are not fully booked, participation is also open to students without a migrant background. Once you have registered, you will initially be placed on the waiting list. Depending on the number of places on the waiting list and available capacity, we will admit you shortly before the start of the workshop.
My German language skills are not very good. Can I still take part?

Many of our events are in German. For German-language events, we recommend a German level of at least B1 so that you understand the most important points. However, you can decide for yourself whether your German language skills are sufficient to follow the content. Events that are held in English are marked accordingly. We endeavor to vary the languages of the events. We offer individual consultations in German and English.

Do I have to switch on my camera during the online offers?
Yes, please turn on your camera. It is important to us to promote an interactive and engaging learning environment, which is supported by the visibility of all participants. However, if you do not want to turn on your camera for private reasons (e.g. participating in a public space), that is also fine. We also encourage you to actively participate to maximize the exchange and learning experience.
