Why was this course created?

voice.of.diversity is a project of the TU Career Center to promote equal opportunities in the recruiting process by reducing unconscious bias. Companies are often blinded by details such as name, appearance, height, origin, gender or other aspects and overlook highly qualified candidates. Students also repeatedly talk about unfair application processes.

Sounds unfair - and it is!

We all think in patterns and stereotypes. We have unconsciously stored these based on our experiences, socialization and culture. This enables us to filter information and make decisions more quickly. This is very helpful for "putting your world in order", but it can also be deceptive. All our students should have every opportunity to achieve their potential.

The aim of our project is therefore to raise awareness and sensitize companies and students to unconscious bias.

"For me, all the different feelings I used to get in a usual process were drastically changed to just curiosity towards this new possible work environment. I was calmer and clearer in my communication with the company - either via chat or physical interview."
Bruna, student of business informatics
