T-Systems is a founding partner of 42 Berlin, and actively collaborates with 42 Wolfsburg, and 42 Heilbronn since 2022. As a founding partner, T-Systems provides strategic and financial support to these innovative programming schools, which emphasize project-based and peer learning without traditional professors, lectures, exams, or tuition fees. This inclusive approach ensures that individuals from all backgrounds can develop essential digital skills, contributing to a diverse and highly skilled tech workforce.

Through this partnership, T-Systems had the pleasure of hosting several interns from the 42 schools, with a couple of them transitioning into permanent hires. We anticipate welcoming more students to join us in the future.
