jobmesse Emsland Lingen

The jobmesse Emsland is an annual career event organized by Barlag Advertising & Trade Fair Agency GmbH since its debut in 2008. It brings together people at all stages of their professional journey – from students and graduates to entry-level professionals and experienced specialists and executives. As part of the nationwide jobmesse series, it represents the Emsland region’s model of direct exchange between motivated applicants and forward-thinking employers.

True to its name, the jobmesse is much more than a traditional job fair. It’s a strategically designed career marketplace, where not only jobs are offered but also long-term career prospects are developed – hands-on, personal, and goal-oriented. The addition of “Emsland” highlights the fair’s strong regional roots and its importance to the city of Lingen and the surrounding economic area. The event is held at the modern EmslandArena, which offers optimal conditions thanks to its central location and excellent accessibility.

Once a year, the arena transforms into a vibrant hub for career opportunities. More than 100 companies and educational institutions from a wide range of sectors are represented – including industry, IT, retail, healthcare, skilled trades, and the public sector. The focus is on topics such as vocational training, university studies, career entry, continuing education, and entrepreneurship. Visitors can meet HR professionals on-site, discover current job openings, and receive personalized advice – all supported by expert talks and interactive workshops.

The concept stands out for its practical approach and high quality: free application checks, professional application photos, talks on trending topics like artificial intelligence in the job search or job sharing, as well as one-on-one coaching sessions, provide tangible added value.

The jobmesse Emsland appeals to people of all ages and qualification levels – from school leavers to seasoned professionals. It serves not only as a platform for career orientation but also as a showcase for the region’s economic potential. At the same time, it strengthens Lingen and the Emsland area beyond the local level by helping companies recruit qualified professionals – both locally and internationally.

The EmslandArena provides a modern infrastructure, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent transport connections. For anyone looking to actively shape their professional future, the jobmesse Emsland offers not only inspiration but also real opportunities.

The jobmesse Emsland will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 09. May to Sunday, 10. May 2026 in Lingen.
