Berufsinformationsmesse (BIM) Bremerhaven

The Career Information Fair (BIM) is the central platform for vocational orientation for young people in Bremerhaven. It is aimed at those just starting their professional careers and is considered an essential resource in the region. Every year, the BIM opens its doors in the modern Bremerhaven Stadthalle, creating an inspiring and practice-oriented atmosphere. The event is organized by the City of Bremerhaven in cooperation with the experienced association job4u e.V., which provides young people with valuable insights and opportunities as they transition from school to the world of work.

A defining feature of the BIM is its strong practical focus and its alignment with the needs of young people. The main topics include career profiles, qualifications, current trends, opportunities and perspectives in training and higher education, as well as practical tips for application processes. Visitors meet a wide range of training companies, universities, and secondary schools from Bremerhaven and the surrounding area, presenting apprenticeships, dual study programs, traditional academic fields, and internship opportunities. In addition to classic information stands, visitors can take part in practical workshops on applications, funding, and the first steps into working life.

The strong regional connection is a hallmark of the BIM: companies and institutions from Bremerhaven and its surroundings use the fair to attract young talent and provide insights into their working environments. In personal conversations with apprentices from various industries, visitors gain authentic insights and can establish valuable contacts with potential employers. The ten thematic worlds of the fair—from trades and technology to medicine, creative professions, and outdoor careers—make orientation easy and provide targeted information. Particularly popular are the offerings for dual and traditional study programs, reflecting changes in the regional educational landscape.

The main target group of the BIM consists of students seeking information about career prospects. Parents also take advantage of the fair to learn about different pathways and funding options. Teachers and educational advisors are present as well, to expand their knowledge and network with others. The range of exhibitors extends from trades and social professions to international industrial companies and public employers such as the police or customs, thus representing the diversity of the regional economy.

The Bremerhaven Stadthalle stands out as a venue due to its central location and easy accessibility by public transport or car. It provides the ideal setting for exchange, inspiration, and the first steps towards a successful professional future. Anyone seeking a comprehensive overview of training, study, and career opportunities in Bremerhaven will find answers, contacts, and valuable impulses at the BIM.

The Berufsinformationsmesse (BIM) will take place on 2 days from Friday, 29. August to Saturday, 30. August 2025 in Bremerhaven.
