Tindustry is an innovative job-dating format developed by students at Design Factory Stuttgart to help students and industry partners find the perfect working student match. Rather than a traditional job fair, this format offers short informal one-to-one interviews where students and companies get to know each other without obligation and explore potential collaborations. Participants receive guidance to make the most of the conversations and networking moments. Students have the chance to make a positive first impression on potential employers and introduce themselves in a relaxed and structured setting. Industry partners can bring their job offers and engage with motivated young talent ready to contribute their skills to real projects. Tindustry typically takes place during the Design Factory gala, bringing community, innovation and opportunity together in one event.
In Tindustry, you can expect an engaging and relaxed environment where students and companies connect through brief, focused conversations that help both sides explore opportunities.
