WiesPaten Project Celebrates 15th Anniversary with IHK Wiesbaden's Sponsorship

The WiesPaten project, a student sponsorship initiative, recently celebrated its 15th anniversary at the IHK Wiesbaden. This project, under the WICM GmbH sponsorship, fosters a mutually beneficial relationship between pupils, committed sponsoring students, and sponsoring companies.

Sabine Meder, CEO of the IHK Wiesbaden, emphasized the importance of supporting young people, stating that it is in the DNA of the IHK. She expressed that the collaboration between WiesPaten and the Wilhelm-Leuschner School in Kostheim, facilitated by the IHK Wiesbaden, is another important pillar for them. The aim is to create more equal opportunities and reach young people where they are on their individual journey.

Christiane Hinninger, Mayor and Economic Development Officer, also expressed her support for the partnership, stating that education is key to participation and future prospects. Simon Rottloff, WICM's deputy managing director responsible for sustainability, believes the WiesPaten project benefits all parties involved.

The WiesPaten project offers a range of benefits. For students, they receive mentorship and support from committed students, helping them gain career guidance and better understand the expectations and motivations within the business world. For sponsoring companies, interaction with young people provides fresh perspectives and insights into what motivates the current generation of youth, allowing them to fulfill their social responsibility by supporting talent development and equal opportunities.

For the IHK Wiesbaden, supporting young people aligns with their mission. WiesPaten strengthens their efforts by offering additional career guidance and training, promoting equal opportunities, and demonstrating the business community’s awareness of its societal responsibility towards youth and talent development.

Last school year, participating students visited the RheinMain Congress Center, attended "Wiesbaden on Ice" at the Kurhaus Wiesbaden, received support for their final presentations, and took part in the WiesPaten summer festival. These events emphasize knowledge transfer, academic support, and social activities.

The sponsorship between WiesPaten and the two sponsoring institutions will last for the coming years. The collaboration is supported by student teachers and active engagement from Wiesbaden companies. Regular meetings between students, student teachers, and employees of the sponsoring institutions are held as part of WiesPaten.

The IHK Wiesbaden's sponsorship of WiesPaten is another important pillar for them, aiming to create more equal opportunities and reach young people where they are on their individual journey. The economy, according to the IHK, is aware of its responsibility towards society and the promotion of young talent.
