PHWT – The ideal training partner

Put your trust in your personal education partner PHWT

Responsible and competent junior staff for your company

As a PHWT partner company, you are in close personal contact with us – just like your future junior staff at the university. From the opportunity to become a partner, through the search for suitable applicants, to further support after their selection, we provide you with comprehensive support.

Would you not like to use our training directly, but would you like to support high-quality educational opportunities in the region? Then a membership in the PHWT Mitglieder- und Unternehmensverband e. V. offers you exactly this opportunity.

Our member companies are always kept up to date on the activities of the PHWT. For example, you will regularly receive our newsletter, the “PHWT Report”, with news from the university of applied sciences. We also invite you to so-called “coordination group meetings” for specific study areas.

An excerpt from our member companies:

Organization of the PHWT Mitglieder- und Unternehmensverbund e.V.

The member companies of the PHWT are united in the PHWT Mitglieder- und Unternehmensverbund e.V. (PHWT e.V.). Today, this network has over 200 regional partner companies that work together to strengthen and further develop local educational opportunities.

Some of these companies use the PHWT study concept for their trainees. Others are involved as members in order to promote the education of future specialists and managers in the region, even if they do not benefit directly.

Membership of the association begins with an application for membership.

The Board of PHWT e. V. consists of 5 members:
