ABI Zukunft - Leipzig/Halle Schkeuditz

ABI Zukunft – Leipzig/Halle in Schkeuditz is a specialized education and career fair specifically designed for high school students – especially those in their final years – who are exploring their academic and professional options. The fair not only provides valuable information but also opens up tangible pathways for the future, whether through vocational training, university studies, or international experiences.

Once a year, the GLOBANA Trade Fair & Event Campus Leipzig/Halle in Schkeuditz transforms into a central meeting point for young people facing the pivotal question: What comes after school? The event is organized by JF MESSEKONZEPT GmbH & Co. KG, an experienced company operating nationwide and specializing in education and career fairs. ABI Zukunft is part of a successful series of events also held in cities such as Frankfurt, Cologne, Münster, and Hanover.

The fair focuses on topics that are crucial for the period following secondary school. Visitors gain comprehensive insights into traditional vocational training paths, dual study programs, and various full- and part-time academic models. Additionally, the fair showcases a wide range of opportunities for voluntary service, internships, and social engagement – from the Voluntary Social Year to multi-month internship programs in Germany and abroad. Another key focus is on international programs that pave the way for studying or working abroad after graduation or during one’s academic career. Those considering a fresh start – for example, after dropping out of university – will also find guidance, individual counseling, and new opportunities.

One of the fair’s standout features is its extensive counseling services and interactive presentations. These not only convey practical knowledge but also encourage active reflection on one’s career and study choices. In addition to universities and colleges, numerous companies from industries such as manufacturing, commerce, public administration, IT, healthcare, education, and skilled trades are represented, seeking to connect with future apprentices and dual-study candidates. Educational institutions, career advisory services, and international organizations further enrich the exhibitor landscape with their specialized offerings.

Most attendees come from Leipzig, Halle, and the greater Central Germany region – including school classes, individual visitors, teachers, and parents who explore career prospects together with their children. For participating companies, the fair presents a valuable opportunity to engage early with potential young talent and to promote training or study placements.

The venue, the GLOBANA Trade Fair & Event Campus in Schkeuditz, is conveniently located between Leipzig and Halle, directly adjacent to Leipzig/Halle Airport. It is easily accessible by both car and public transportation, providing ideal conditions for an inspiring day at the fair – with direct access to education, guidance, and future career opportunities.

The ABI Zukunft - Leipzig/Halle will take place on Saturday, 17. January 2026 in Schkeuditz.
