Contrary to the widespread belief that you cannot have a career in Northern Hesse, current information shows the diverse professional opportunities in the region. The HNA article highlights that Kassel is a real “career strip”, especially with large employers such as Volkswagen in Baunatal, which offers employment to around 17,000 people. In total, the city can boast more than 30,000 companies in the city and district of Kassel. That is a number that speaks for itself.
The offer is promising: There are currently almost 3,000 positions advertised on the Kassel employment agency website, and over 3,000 search results can be found on job portals such as Jobware and Indeed. Anyone looking for a new job can be sure that the search is worth it - even if there may not be something for every qualification.
Diversity of industries in Kassel
The economic landscape in Kassel is rich. Strong sectors include automotive, mobility, transport, mechanical engineering, environment, energy and defense. Kassel itself is increasingly becoming a center for renewable energies, supported by investments in solar and wind power projects. Demand is also growing in the healthcare sector, not least due to an increasing number of medical professionals.
Participating companies in these areas offer lucrative salaries and attractive growth rates. For example, the salary range in machinery production is around $50,000 to $100,000, while in the healthcare sector, earnings can reach $60,000 to $120,000. The IT sector even boasts salaries ranging from $70,000 to $150,000. Innovation and technological progress continue to drive development and demand in these areas.
Start-ups and innovation
Kassel has also become a hotspot for start-ups, with around 40 of these creative companies in the Science Park near the university. The technology and start-up center at Marbachshöhe in particular attracts innovative companies and promotes exchange between established companies and start-ups. Frank Schmid, managing director of Verlag Dierichs GmbH & Co. KG, emphasizes the determination and commitment of the entrepreneurs, who make a significant contribution to the quality of life in northern Hesse.
The development in the home office area is also fascinating: around 30% of the workforce in Kassel now uses remote or hybrid working models, especially in the IT and marketing sectors. Local companies that offer flexible work opportunities contribute to the attractiveness of the labor market. In addition, job resources such as KasselJobs.de and the Kassel employment agency support the search for suitable positions.
Overall, Kassel proves that there are career opportunities for everyone in this city - a positive message for anyone who wants to challenge the prejudices about northern Hesse. As the reports from HNA and Wirtschaft Nordhessen show, the region is on the right track and is attracting more and more skilled workers.
