Treffpunkt Kaiserslautern

The "Treffpunkt" Company Contact Fair is an annual career fair that has played a key role in connecting students and companies since its inception in 1993. The name "Treffpunkt" (meaning "meeting point") not only symbolizes the encounter between young talent and experienced company representatives but is also embodied by the organizing entity, Treffpunkt GbR—a consortium of committed businesses. The fair serves as a dynamic interface between academia and industry.

The event takes place on the campus of the Technical University of Kaiserslautern, a modern, well-equipped university location with excellent transport links in the heart of the Rhineland-Palatinate university city. The fair is distinguished by its thematic breadth and academic depth.

It primarily targets students from fields such as business administration, mechanical engineering, computer science, electrical engineering, physics, chemistry, biology, architecture, civil engineering, and mathematics. Attendees—especially students, recent graduates, and young professionals—gain access to information on internships, working student positions, thesis opportunities, direct entry roles, and current job openings, which are clearly displayed on the “Job Wall.” In addition, the fair offers personalized career counseling, résumé checks, and one-on-one conversations with company representatives—providing targeted support for career orientation and a successful start in the professional world.

Exhibitors from a wide range of industries participate, using the fair strategically to identify and attract qualified young talent early on. Supplementary events such as workshops, expert lectures, and networking sessions offer fresh impulses each year and enhance the practical value of attending.

The TU Kaiserslautern campus impresses not only with its modern architecture but also with its convenient accessibility via public transport and car, helping to draw numerous visitors from the region and beyond each year.

With its strong emphasis on practical exchange between academia and business, and its support for concrete career pathways, the Treffpunkt fair has become a firmly established fixture in both the academic and economic calendar of the region.

The Treffpunkt takes place annually, and therefore for the 28th time previsibly in May 2026 in Kaiserslautern.
