Students will have a chance to explore career prospects in geothermal for free at this year's Praxisforum Geothermie.Bayern, taking place on 22-24 October 2025.
Are you studying or completing an apprenticeship in the fields of geosciences, energy or process engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, business administration or a related field?
Praxisforum Geothermie.Bayern, the most important meeting of the geothermal industry in southern Germany, is once again openings its doors on 22 to 24 October 2025 in Pullach am Isartal, organized by Enerchange. As part of this year’s program, there will be geothermal career forum that is free of charge for students and trainees.

The event offers a chance for students and trainees to learn about the diverse career opportunities surrounding deep geothermal energy, establish contacts with companies, and explore entry-level opportunities in the industry. In addition to various short presentations on career prospects, discussions with exhibitors also offer many interesting insights into this climate-friendly, future-oriented industry.
The career forum is supported by “Innovative Energy for Pullach” (IEP), whose geothermal plant – one of the most successful pioneering plants in Germany – will be visited at the end of the career forum.
“To ensure that the heating transition doesn’t falter due to a shortage of skilled workers, the Career Forum is once again the top priority at this year’s Praxisforum Geothermie.Bayern,” says organizer Jochen Schneider.
He sees deep geothermal energy as a strong long-term job driver. “The German Geothermal Energy Acceleration Act, passed in August, supports the already strong spirit of optimism.” The number of planned deep geothermal plants in Germany has almost doubled in recent years.
“It’s all the more important that we can attract many young people to the diverse careers in deep geothermal energy,” says Ulrich Steiner, head of the Deep Geothermal Coordination Office Bavaria, a gold sponsor of this year’s event. “As a central contact point for municipalities, entrepreneurs, and other stakeholders in the heat transition in Bavaria, it’s also very important to us to bring young talent and companies together in the best possible way.”
