Chief Tomorrow Officer: Internship for Visionaries

Let’s shape the future together!

July 28 2021

What is important tomorrow?

Is it material prosperity and a crisis-proof job? Equal rights and unlimited self-realization? World peace and climate protection? Each new generation focuses on different values and goals. So what will be important to Generation Z in the future? In order to answer this question, we have established the exclusive Chief Tomorrow Officer internship at Deutsche Telekom and T-Systems.

What is a Chief Tomorrow Officer?

The best way to predict the future is to invent it! That is why we at T-Systems listen to those to whom the #future belongs. We listen to the #QuestionsForTomorrow that #GenZ are interested in and together we solve these questions to get ready for our future.

What does a Chief Tomorrow Officer do?

Chief Tomorrow Officer is not a job in the traditional sense – we use the term to describe a new generation of leaders: People with a positive mindset, who are forward-thinking and exert influence across different departments in the company. The expertise of a Chief Tomorrow Officer is to take the lead and find new solutions. It’s about asking urgent and challenging questions about short-term issues that lead to long-term change.

We believe in people who ask important questions. Questions that have the power to unlock the potential of the future.

Who are we looking for?
