JOBFACTORY Rostock

JOBFACTORY is the leading trade fair for career and academic orientation in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Since its inception in 1998, it has been held once a year in autumn at the HanseMesse Rostock. The name JOBFACTORY symbolically represents a "factory of professions" – a place where careers take shape, ideas are forged, and future plans become tangible. The event is organized by the experienced jobfactory project team, which specializes in career-oriented formats and focuses specifically on the needs of young people.

With its unique concept, JOBFACTORY brings together everything essential for well-founded career planning. At its core are traditional vocational training paths, university degree programs, dual study models, and hands-on insights into various professional fields. The offering is further enriched by individual consultations, workshops, and presentations that provide valuable guidance on applications, orientation, and career entry – not only for young people but also for parents and teachers who actively support them along the way.

The fair is tailored specifically to the region and highlights career and development opportunities both within Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and beyond. Companies, universities, and institutions from a wide range of industries open their doors, offer insights into their work environments, and present concrete career prospects. Visitors have the opportunity to engage directly with exhibitors, establish contacts, and learn first-hand about training programs, academic pathways, and current job openings.

One of the fair’s standout features is its interactive program, where practical knowledge is shared, successful career paths are presented, and personal questions can be addressed.

The event is primarily aimed at school pupils, university students, career starters, and individuals seeking new professional direction.

With its modern infrastructure, excellent public transport connections, and ample parking facilities, the HanseMesse Rostock provides the ideal setting. Anyone looking for a focused and inspiring trade fair experience in northeastern Germany will find JOBFACTORY to be the perfect platform for taking the first step toward a successful professional future.

The JOBFACTORY takes place annually, and therefore for the 29th time previsibly in October 2026 in Rostock.
