Career in the Bundeswehr: Opportunities and information in Hildesheim!
On June 19, 2025, an interesting information event organized by the Bundeswehr's career advice service will take place in Hildesheim. From 4:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., anyone interested has the opportunity to find out about the diverse careers in the Bundeswehr at the Hildesheim Employment Agency. The venue can be found at Am Marienfriedhof 3. Hildesheimer Presse reports that not only military careers but also numerous civilian professions are presented. There are also more than 40 courses for prospective officers.
Voluntary military service (FWD) is ideal for those who want to get a taste of military careers. The FWD can last between 7 and 23 months and gives young people the opportunity to get to know the military profession better. The service can be completed in various branches of the armed forces such as cyber and information space, the army, air force, navy, medical service or the armed forces base. Those interested can decide during or after their service whether they would like to continue their career in the Bundeswehr. Bundeswehr Career adds that full-time compulsory schooling must be fulfilled in order to qualify for the FWD.
Professional prospects and requirements
The Bundeswehr offers a wide range of career prospects, including over 50 civilian-recognized professions that can be learned. Young people who are physically fit and a team player have a good chance of getting a place. There are a few requirements to consider: in addition to good school performance, flexibility and the will to improve performance as well as the willingness to work abroad are required. Bundeswehr Training also describes that the first six months of the FWD are considered a probationary period during which the employment relationship can be ended at any time.
Anyone interested in the FWD must be at least 17 years old, although young people under 18 require their parents' consent. You also have to be at least 1.55 meters tall and have German citizenship. After completing the FWD, depending on your school qualifications, you can switch to a higher career, which significantly expands your career opportunities. By the way, it is not necessary to register for the information event in Hildesheim - the room is signposted.
Overall, the upcoming event shows that the Bundeswehr offers not only military but also civilian career opportunities and is therefore geared to the diverse talents of young people. This event is highly recommended to all young people who are interested in a career in the Bundeswehr!
