opportunities to learn.” TAleNT. To ensure lasting inventiveness and energy, a company must be capable of attracting the best tal- ent and offering interesting development prospects to its employees in a dynamic corporate culture. Deutsche Telekom is setting clear signals for its evolution into a global talent company: Having en- joyed a reputation as an excellent employer in europe, and particularly the USA, for many years, we are now increasingly being recognized in Germany for who we really are – one of the best training providers, an outstanding employer, and a top talent company. We give young new talents the oppor- tunity to grow, by giving them the most challenging tasks. We also train our own junior staff, as well as recruiting graduates from both Master’s and Bachelor’s degree courses, along with developing and enhancing our portfolio of part-time degree programs. We ensure that our innovative strength is continuously reinforced, by providing our teams with access to the very latest knowledge throughout the course of their working lives. With one eye on the future, we systematically promote the recruit- ment of talent as well as succession planning and skills development for our expert and manage- ment teams in dedicated career paths, and are increasingly extending this practice to international level. 11TalentTechnology meets talent.
