vocatium Emsland/Grafschaft Bentheim Lingen

The vocatium Emsland/Grafschaft Bentheim is an annual trade fair dedicated to personalized career and academic guidance, held at the Emslandhallen in Lingen (Ems). Since its establishment in 2008, the event has been organized by the renowned IfT Institut für Talententwicklung GmbH, which coordinates similar fairs across Germany focusing on individual counseling.

A distinguishing feature of the vocatium is its targeted concept of pre-scheduled, one-to-one conversations between students, individuals interested in apprenticeships or higher education, and exhibitors. This allows for intensive and efficient counseling sessions about apprenticeship opportunities, higher education programs, and dual study options. These dual programs, combining theory and practical experience, are presented in detail and include specific information about partnerships between companies and universities.

Visitors to the fair can engage with regional employers from Emsland and Grafschaft Bentheim, as well as with national companies from diverse industries. Additionally, young visitors receive specialized advice on funding opportunities such as BAföG, scholarships, and other forms of financial support.

Besides individual conversations, vocatium provides informative lectures and practical workshops covering topics such as application training, career planning, and study financing. A highlight of the event is the speed-dating format, enabling quick networking and interaction between participants, companies, and educational institutions.

The Emslandhallen venue is conveniently accessible, located only about two kilometers from Lingen (Ems) railway station, with excellent public transport connections and ample parking facilities.

Thanks to its extensive advisory and informational offerings, the vocatium Emsland/Grafschaft Bentheim has established itself as a key platform, annually supporting students, teachers, parents, and other interested individuals in making informed decisions about their professional and academic futures.

The vocatium Emsland/Grafschaft Bentheim will take place on 2 days from Tuesday, 29. June to Wednesday, 30. June 2027 in Lingen.
