Companies are trying to win fu- ture employees by offering attractive career possibilities, not only region- ally, but also globally. “We noticed, that IDS is becoming increasingly in- ternational.Thiswasreflectedinsome of the lectures during the Career Day which are given in English. Sirona uses this opportunity to get in touch with potential employees from all around the world.
