jobmesse Hanover

The jobmesse Hannover is an annual career fair and serves as a central meeting point for young professionals, skilled workers, and companies in the heart of Lower Saxony. Organized by Barlag Advertising & Trade Fair Agency GmbH, it is part of a nationwide series of career fairs that bring together people and professional opportunities. The name “jobmesse” stands for more than a traditional job fair – it represents a modern, interactive platform focused on career orientation, personal development, and direct human connection.

The event takes place at the centrally located and easily accessible Hannover Congress Centrum (HCC), nestled in the green city park and just minutes from the city center. Firmly anchored in the region’s event calendar, the fair marks the beginning of a new professional chapter for many attendees. A diverse program of events and a wide range of exhibitors make jobmesse Hannover a key player in the career fair landscape.

The spotlight is on practical advice, application support, and workshops and expert talks on current topics such as personal branding and modern career planning. Particularly popular are the free application reviews offered by experienced coaches from IBB, professional photo shoots for application materials, and styling tips for job interviews, provided by experts from MARY KAY. Beyond that, the fair also makes a strong statement on social responsibility by partnering with the International Rescue Committee (IRC) to support the labor market integration of migrants and refugees.

More than 160 exhibitors from a variety of industries – including major companies such as MTU Maintenance, the TUI Group, Actemium Germany, and institutions like the Federal Criminal Police Office and Hanover Police – present a wide range of opportunities. These range from apprenticeships and university programs to entry-level positions for young professionals and skilled workers, as well as options for career changers, returnees, and entrepreneurs.

Jobmesse Hannover targets a broad audience: students, university graduates, apprentices, job starters, experienced professionals, executives, and individuals seeking career changes. This diversity is reflected in the range of industries represented – from manufacturing, trade, and services to IT, security, healthcare, tourism, and educational institutions.

More than just a career fair, jobmesse Hannover is an experience. Attendees walk the red carpet to their professional future, welcomed by inspiring conversations, fresh perspectives, and real opportunities. The venue adds to the event’s unique character: the HCC offers modern infrastructure, an appealing setting, and proximity to hotels, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The location is easily accessible by both public transport and car.

Anyone looking to actively shape their professional future will find jobmesse Hannover to be an ideal platform – useful, diverse, and focused. It’s far more than just a fair.

The jobmesse takes place annually, and therefore for the eighteenth time previsibly in June 2026 in Hanover.
