K&S : K+S Designated "MINT Minded Company" Once Again

2 June 2016

Having been designated a 'MINT Minded Company' by the 'MINT Zukunft schaffen' employers association and aud!max MEDIEN in 2015, K+S has now been awarded the title once again. The title was awarded on the grounds that the Company is regarded as a particularly attractive employer by students and graduates of MINT subjects, i.e., mathematics, computing, science and engineering, in Germany and displays a high degree of commitment to the MINT initiative.

'The awarding of the title is an acknowledgment of our work in inspiring young people for these forward-looking subjects,' says Dr. Thomas Nöcker, board member with responsibility for personnel at K+S Aktiengesellschaft.

K+S has been an official partner of the nationwide 'MINT Zukunft schaffen' initiative since 2013. [Note: MINT is an acronym formed from the German words for mathematics, computer science, science and engineering.] The partnership was recently extended until the end of 2018. The patron of the non-profit organization is Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel. The aim of the initiative is to encourage school students to develop an interest in MINT occupations and to draw attention to the shortage of MINT experts in Germany. For some years now, K+S has been supporting the work of voluntary MINT ambassadors from Company sites who deliver presentations of Company occupational profiles to young people.
