katapult Frankenthal

The Katapult Fair for Education and Careers is an annual event held at the CongressForum Frankenthal. It is specifically aimed at school students, university students, career starters, and individuals seeking a new professional direction. The name "Katapult" symbolises the dynamic boost that visitors receive for their educational or career paths – a powerful launch into the future. The fair is organised by Red Braid Marketing GmbH, a company specialised in events focused on education and career development.

Each year, the CongressForum becomes a hub for over 40 companies and institutions presenting a wide range of opportunities – from apprenticeships and dual study programs to trainee programs and continuing education courses. Among the exhibitors are renowned names such as BASF SE, ALDI SÜD, the German Armed Forces, the Police of Rhineland-Palatinate, Sparkasse Rhein-Haardt, LIDL, as well as regional universities and educational institutions like the IHK Pfalz and Kaiserslautern University of Applied Sciences.

The Katapult Fair covers key areas including apprenticeships, university studies, professional development, career changes, career counselling, and insights into various fields of work.

A particular highlight of the event is the professional career counselling and application workshops, where experts provide valuable tips on preparing application documents and getting ready for job interviews. Visitors also receive an apprenticeship guide and a fair map to help them navigate directly to the most relevant contacts.

The Katapult Fair sees itself not just as an information platform, but as a springboard into professional life. Many companies offer internships directly at the fair or invite visitors to start application processes on site. Exhibitors represent sectors such as industry, commerce, public administration, healthcare, security, and information technology, offering visitors a wide variety of career paths.

As part of a series of fairs that also take place in cities such as Landau in der Pfalz, Oberhausen, and Recklinghausen, Katapult offers regionally tailored opportunities at each location. In Frankenthal – a dynamic economic centre in Rhineland-Palatinate – the fair plays an important role in connecting young talents and experienced professionals with local businesses.

The CongressForum Frankenthal, a modern and centrally located venue, is easily accessible by public transport and car, providing the ideal setting for inspiring conversations and career decisions. Visiting the Katapult Fair means not only gathering valuable information but also actively shaping your own career path – practical, targeted, and on equal footing with potential employers and educational providers.

The katapult will take place on Saturday, 10. May 2025 in Frankenthal.
