Jobmesse Erfurt

The Erfurt Job Fair is a biannual public event that has established itself as a key career meeting point in Thuringia since its launch in 2016. It is organized by the experienced HR Business GmbH, a company that hosts renowned career fairs across Germany under the "JOBMESSE" brand, in cities such as Hamburg, Berlin, and Nuremberg. The aim of the Erfurt fair is to connect people at all career stages directly with companies, institutions, and educational providers — true to its motto: “All paths to your new career!”

The event takes place at the centrally located and modern Steigerwald Stadium, which has proven itself as a versatile event venue with excellent transport connections. Every March and September, the stadium transforms into a vibrant hub for employers, job seekers, career starters, career changers, returnees, and students, all looking for information on career opportunities, training paths, and continuing education options.

The fair covers a wide range of topics — from traditional career entry and opportunities for experienced professionals to programs for those looking to reorient themselves or switch industries. Vocational training, dual study programs, professional development, and career changes are all integral parts of the event’s concept. Companies from key industries such as manufacturing, skilled trades, healthcare, IT, public services, retail, and tourism use the fair as a platform to present themselves as attractive employers and engage directly with potential new employees. A particular highlight is the opportunity for in-person interaction — often the first step toward a new job.

Another standout feature is the free résumé check by career experts, often offered in collaboration with the Employment Agency or independent consultants. This service is complemented by a varied supporting program that includes expert talks, workshops, and coaching sessions. These focus on practical topics such as job applications, interviews, soft skills, and emerging professions. Current developments like digitalization and sustainability are also addressed — for instance, through presentations on digital professions in the context of Industry 4.0 or through exhibitors from the renewable energy and environmental technology sectors.

What makes the Erfurt Job Fair particularly compelling is not just its central location and free admission, but its clear focus on the needs of the regional labor market. It offers guidance and new perspectives for individuals at every stage of their professional journey, while also enabling direct encounters between employers and candidates. As such, it goes far beyond a traditional job exchange — it serves as an engine for shaping the future of the working world.

The Jobmesse takes place for the 15th time on Thur., 25.09.2025 in Erfurt.
