LOOK IN! Paderborn

The LOOK IN! career fair at Paderborn University is an annual event that has served as a significant platform for exchange between students, graduates, and companies since its establishment in 1993. Organized by the student associations Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen (HG WING e.V.) and Wirtschaftsinformatik Paderborn e.V., both dedicated to bridging theory and practice, the event is officially hosted by LOOK IN! GbR c/o HG WING e.V.

Focusing on the disciplines of business studies, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, mathematics, and physics, the fair specifically targets students and graduates from these fields. It offers them the opportunity to meet both regional and national companies presenting their services and career opportunities in business, technology, and IT.

One distinctive feature of LOOK IN! is its venue: the library foyer of Paderborn University, a modern, centrally located institution renowned for interdisciplinary research and teaching across five faculties. Since its founding in 1972, the university has evolved into an innovative center, providing an ideal environment for events like this.

Visitors to the fair can expect a wide range of offerings. In addition to company information booths, LOOK IN! provides free services such as professional résumé checks and high-quality application photo shoots — practical advantages for those preparing to launch their careers. The program is further enhanced by specialist lectures and workshops that offer deeper insights into various industries and career fields.

Another key aim of the fair is to facilitate internships, student jobs, and topics for final theses, effectively building a bridge between academic studies and professional careers. The personal atmosphere and the opportunity for meaningful, direct contact set LOOK IN! apart from other career fairs.

Overall, LOOK IN! offers a specialized platform that provides students and graduates of Paderborn University with practical, innovative, and forward-looking support as they embark on their professional journeys.

The 31st LOOK IN! takes place on 3 days from Mon., 12.05.2025 to Wed., 14.05.2025 in Paderborn.
