parentum Potsdam

The parentum trade fair in Potsdam, an innovative and forward-looking event, takes place annually in November and serves as an important platform for career guidance and education.

Initiated by IfT Institut für Talententwicklung GmbH, a leading player in the organization of trade fairs for training and studies, the parentum in Potsdam has established itself as an essential event. It brings young people who are about to choose a career and their parents directly together with education providers and companies.

The venue of the trade fair, the OSZ I Technik Potsdam, is an institution known for its focus on technical education and innovation. This provides a suitable setting for the event and underlines the importance of the trade fair as an interface between technical education, career guidance and direct dialogue with potential employers and educational institutions.

A central feature of the parentum is the focus on personal discussions. Here, visitors have the opportunity to come into direct contact with various education providers and companies. They can find out more about career opportunities, employment requirements and educational opportunities in order to make valuable contacts for their professional future.

The fair covers a wide range of topics, including traditional apprenticeships, courses of study, school qualifications and opportunities for stays abroad. This extensive range of information is complemented by a diverse supporting programme with lectures, workshops and various activities, which offers young people and their parents additional insights and support in career orientation.

It is particularly worth emphasizing that parentum is more than just an information exchange: it is also a place of inspiration. Young people receive guidance for their career choices and are motivated and inspired by success stories and direct feedback from experts from various industries.

Another outstanding feature of parentum in Potsdam is its consideration of the needs of parents. The concept of the fair recognizes the crucial role that parents play in their children's career decisions. They act not only as companions, but also as advisors. For this reason, the fair offers special information tailored to parents to enable them to effectively support their children.

In summary, the parentum fair in Potsdam is a holistic education and career orientation event. It aims to promote dialogue between young people, parents, educational institutions and employers and offers a wealth of information, opportunities for networking and concrete guidance for a well-founded and future-oriented career choice.

The parentum will take place on Saturday, 22. November 2025 in Potsdam.
