KARRIEREMESSE Ravensburg

The KARRIEREMESSE – Jobs for the South is an annual public career fair held in Ravensburg. Since its inception in 2002 under the name KarriereStart, it has become a well-established fixture in the southern German trade fair landscape. The event takes place in the modern Oberschwabenhalle – a well-equipped venue in the heart of Ravensburg, offering ideal conditions for personal interaction, consultation, and presentations.

Organized by Schwäbischer Verlag GmbH & Co. KG – a renowned media company from Upper Swabia best known for the Schwäbische Zeitung – the fair benefits from years of experience in hosting regional events. The publisher provides a professional platform where businesses, universities, and educational institutions can engage with visitors on an equal footing.

The fair serves as a dynamic interface between business, education, and the labor market – practical, goal-oriented, and focused on individual career opportunities. Its scope is broad, ranging from IT and engineering to skilled trades, healthcare, social services, tourism, and hospitality. Whether you're looking for current job openings, apprenticeships, degree programs, or continuing education opportunities, the fair offers targeted information and valuable networking opportunities for professional growth.

A key feature of the event is its high standard of quality. It brings together a wide range of reputable regional and national companies, universities, and training providers who present themselves authentically and are eager to connect directly with qualified candidates. Free services such as professional application photos, résumé checks, and one-on-one career counseling by experienced professionals further enhance the experience.

One of the highlights is the "Employer Pitch" in the 180° LOUNGE. In this interactive format, companies introduce themselves through brief presentations and engage in direct conversations with potential applicants. This creates a relaxed atmosphere that facilitates personal connections and mutual understanding – a clear benefit for both sides.

Far more than a traditional job fair, the KARRIEREMESSE – Jobs for the South is a vibrant marketplace for career prospects, a hub for dialogue and advice, and a key driver of workforce development in the region.

The KARRIEREMESSE will take place on Thursday, 08. May 2025 in Ravensburg.
