Deutsche Bahn invites you: the highest job interview on the Zugspitze!

A very special event will take place in Bavaria on July 26, 2025: Deutsche Bahn is organizing a recruiting event that is second to none on the Zugspitze, at a height of 2,962 meters. The target group is career changers and students who are interested in positions as train drivers and customer advisors in local transport.

Only 20 exclusive tickets are available and applications are open until July 24, 2025. If you're one of the lucky ones to snag a ticket, you can look forward to a day full of information and opportunities, starting at 9am and expected to end at 4pm. The travel costs are covered by Deutsche Bahn – a really attractive offer!

A big step against the shortage of skilled workers

The recruiting event is part of Deutsche Bahn's strategy to hire 20,000 new employees this year. The already notable shortage of skilled workers is seen as one of the biggest challenges for recruiting. Deutsche Bahn already employs over 338,000 people in 130 countries and is a major provider of mobility and logistics services worldwide. With over 500 different professions, the company offers many exciting jobs.

An important aspect of corporate management is the promotion of security, flexibility, diversity and sustainability. Deutsche Bahn focuses on equal opportunities and participation for severely disabled and equally placed applicants. If they are equally qualified, they will be given preference - a step towards more fairness in the selection of applicants.

Diversity recruiting is key

Another key point in combating the shortage of skilled workers is Deutsche Bahn’s diversity recruiting strategy. According to those responsible Franziska Manck and Anne-Sophie Hoffmeister, diversity is an integral part of the “Strong Rail” corporate strategy. It includes various dimensions of diversity such as generation, social origin, sexual orientation and ethnic origin. To promote this diversity, specific strategies are being developed, such as women's recruiting and Age Diversity@Work.

In addition, addressing different target groups is supported by comprehensive training for recruiters and management. Events like the recruiting event on the Zugspitze are part of this comprehensive strategy to get in direct contact with talent and discover their potential.

Overall, the upcoming event on the Zugspitze not only shows Deutsche Bahn's commitment to new employees, but also the willingness to pursue innovative ways to counteract the shortage of skilled workers and promote a diverse workforce. Anyone interested in the industry should not miss this opportunity!
