Job Fair Dortmund

The Jobmesse Dortmund is an annual careers, education and training fair held in November at the Audi Center Dortmund Hülpert AZ GmbH. Unlike industry-specific trade fairs, the event takes a deliberately broad approach, bringing together employers, educational institutions and people exploring career opportunities across a wide range of professions.

The fair is organised by Wolter-Rousseaux Media GmbH, a company specialising in careers and recruitment events. Under the "Jobmesse Deutschland" brand, it runs a nationwide series of events in numerous German cities and has established itself as a key partner for businesses, training providers and jobseekers. The Dortmund event is therefore part of a Germany-wide network of careers fairs that attracts thousands of visitors and numerous well-known employers each year.

The event focuses on employment and career development, vocational training and dual study programmes, as well as continuing education and professional development. Visitors can speak directly with recruiters and hiring managers, learn about current vacancies and explore career opportunities across different industries. Universities, colleges and training providers also showcase their degree programmes, professional qualifications, retraining courses and continuing education opportunities.

Exhibitors represent a broad cross-section of the German economy, including manufacturing and industry, logistics and transport, retail, healthcare and social care, hospitality and catering, the public sector, information technology, engineering and education. The fair therefore offers a wealth of information and career opportunities for professionals and managers, as well as school leavers, apprentices, students, career changers and experienced employees considering a new role.

One of the fair's distinguishing features is its extensive programme of supporting events and services. Alongside the exhibition stands, visitors can benefit from free CV and application reviews, personalised careers advice, and practical presentations and workshops covering job applications, entering the workforce, career progression and further training. These additional services make the event much more than a conventional recruitment fair.

The fair plays an important role in Dortmund and the wider North Rhine-Westphalia region as a platform for recruitment and professional networking. It encourages connections between employers, educational institutions and the workforce, contributing to the long-term development of the regional economy. The event also attracts visitors from across the Ruhr area and neighbouring regions.

The Audi Center Dortmund Hülpert AZ GmbH provides a distinctive setting for the fair, combining contemporary automotive design with a professional and prestigious atmosphere. The dealership's spacious showrooms offer an unusual backdrop for face-to-face discussions, employer presentations and direct interaction between businesses and prospective candidates. Its modern surroundings create a welcoming environment where career opportunities and professional networking take centre stage.

Located in Dortmund and well connected to the regional road network, the Audi Center is easily accessible to visitors and exhibitors from across the Ruhr area and surrounding towns and cities. Dortmund's transport infrastructure, including its motorway connections and public transport services, makes travelling to the venue convenient from various parts of North Rhine-Westphalia. The Audi Center Dortmund Hülpert AZ GmbH thus provides an attractive venue for a careers fair that brings together employers, education and training providers, and individuals looking to take the next step in their professional lives.

The Job Fair will take place on Thursday, 19. November 2026 in Dortmund.
