Jobmesse Ostfriesland Aurich

The Jobmesse Ostfriesland is an annual regional careers and apprenticeship fair held at the Sparkassen-Arena in Aurich. It has established itself as the leading careers platform for the wider East Frisia economic region. The event is organised by Friedrich Haug e.K. Messen und Ausstellungen, an experienced promoter of regional trade and public exhibitions, bringing together employers, institutions and skilled professionals.

Each year, the Sparkassen-Arena becomes a hub for apprenticeships, higher education, graduate entry, career moves and professional reorientation. The fair goes well beyond a traditional jobs market, positioning itself as a practical information and networking platform. Exhibitors present current apprenticeship vacancies, dual study programmes, direct-entry roles, trainee schemes and continuing professional development opportunities from across the region. Visitors gain first-hand insights into career profiles, sector-specific requirements, progression routes and current labour market trends directly from HR professionals and decision-makers.

The event reflects the economic diversity of East Frisia. Exhibitors represent sectors including industry, skilled trades, retail, logistics, energy, healthcare, IT, tourism, public administration and education and training providers. In addition to job and apprenticeship opportunities, attendees can access services related to applications, career planning, upskilling and professional reorientation. A programme of expert talks on labour market trends, application strategies and growth industries complements the exhibition.

Key target groups include school leavers, university students, qualified professionals and executives, returners to the workforce, and individuals aged 50+ seeking to reapply their professional experience. By connecting emerging talent, experienced professionals and regional employers, the fair contributes to addressing skills shortages in East Frisia. At the same time, it strengthens the regional economy and reinforces the area’s appeal as a place to live and work.

Highlights include practice-oriented presentations, one-to-one advisory sessions and the opportunity to apply directly on site. Many exhibitors conduct short interviews, offer CV reviews and provide guidance on dual career pathways. The open, dialogue-driven atmosphere facilitates personal exchange and meaningful connections.

The Jobmesse Ostfriesland forms part of the organiser’s established portfolio of careers and information fairs held at multiple locations, creating links between regional labour markets.

As a venue, the Sparkassen-Arena Aurich offers modern facilities, spacious exhibition halls and a central location. Aurich is easily accessible via the B72 and B210 federal roads and provides ample parking in the immediate vicinity of the arena. The combination of regional economic strength, central accessibility and professional organisation provides a reliable framework for an event that makes career opportunities visible, tangible and accessible.

The Jobmesse Ostfriesland will take place on 2 days from Friday, 06. March to Saturday, 07. March 2026 in Aurich.
