vocatium Braunschweig/Wolfsburg Braunschweig

The vocatium Braunschweig/Wolfsburg is an annual career and education fair that offers young people structured and personalized guidance in exploring professional pathways. Since its launch in 2008, the fair has been organized by the IfT Institute for Talent Development GmbH, a nationwide organizer specializing in career orientation and continuing education. The vocatium fairs are part of a Germany-wide network, now established in over 80 locations.

A defining feature of the fair is its well-organized concept: scheduled appointments between students and exhibitors are at the heart of the event. These pre-arranged meetings enable personal and efficient exchanges, setting vocatium apart from conventional education fairs.

The event takes place at the centrally located Volkswagen Halle in Braunschweig, which is just minutes from the main train station and easily accessible by public transportation. Paid parking is available at Europaplatz and nearby parking garages. The venue’s modern infrastructure provides an ideal setting for meaningful dialogue between young people, companies, universities, and institutions.

The fair covers a wide range of topics—from vocational training and academic education to dual study programs. Prestigious regional companies and organizations such as Volkswagen, Continental, Siemens, and Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences present their training and study opportunities. Universities showcase degree programs in forward-looking fields like computer science, digitalization, engineering, and social work. The focus is on providing hands-on insights into career paths through one-on-one conversations with HR representatives, application training, and individual counseling.

Visitors also receive information about funding options such as scholarships and student financial aid (BAföG), as well as on current topics like sustainability, artificial intelligence, and digital application processes. Another highlight is the “speed-dating” format with potential employers, which facilitates targeted networking in a short amount of time.

The vocatium Braunschweig-Wolfsburg is more than a traditional fair—it is a practical, personal, and goal-oriented platform for students exploring their career options, as well as for teachers and parents who actively support career planning.

The vocatium Braunschweig/Wolfsburg will take place on 2 days from Tuesday, 09. June to Wednesday, 10. June 2026 in Braunschweig.
