Expect! Wolfenbüttel

The Expect! Career Fair is an annual event designed for students and graduates seeking information on career entry, internships, and professional opportunities. Organized by an interdisciplinary team of students from Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences, the fair is tailored to the needs of aspiring professionals. Its primary goal is to facilitate direct contact between young talent and potential employers, broadening career prospects.

The event offers a unique opportunity to connect with companies of all sizes from Lower Saxony and across Germany. Industries represented include automotive, IT, retail, logistics, consulting, and tourism. Students can explore internship opportunities, working student positions, and thesis collaborations while preparing for their transition into the workforce. Company representatives are available for personal conversations, providing valuable insights into their respective industries.

One of the highlights of Expect! is a series of expert talks, where industry professionals and company representatives discuss current topics related to career opportunities, application processes, and sector-specific developments. Alumni talks offer further inspiration, allowing former Ostfalia students to share their career experiences and advice. Attendees looking to refine their application materials can take advantage of a free resume check. Additionally, professional application photos and a styling service help create a strong first impression.

A key feature of the fair is the Job Wall, showcasing current job and internship openings. Students also have the chance to present themselves to potential employers through short elevator pitches, fostering valuable connections for a smoother entry into the job market.

Expect! alternates annually between Ostfalia University’s Wolfsburg and Wolfenbüttel campuses, both offering an ideal infrastructure for a dynamic and interactive fair. Unlike other career events, Expect! stands out as a student-organized initiative created for students. Its practice-oriented and future-focused approach ensures a tailored experience that meets participants' needs.

Whether students are seeking career direction or companies are looking for motivated young professionals, Expect! provides a unique platform for direct exchange and long-term career opportunities.
