vocatium Leipzig Schkeuditz

The vocatium Leipzig is an annual trade fair focused on education and career planning, specifically designed to support students at career decision age in navigating their professional and academic futures. The event takes place at the Globana Trade Center Leipzig Halle in Schkeuditz – a conveniently located exhibition venue near Leipzig and Halle. With its modern infrastructure and proximity to major transportation routes, the location offers ideal conditions for a successful fair.

The event is organized by the IfT Institute for Talent Development GmbH, which has specialized in personalized career guidance and continuing education since its founding in 2008. The IfT operates in over 80 locations across Germany and has developed a unique format through the vocatium fairs, focusing on scheduled, one-on-one conversations between young people and exhibitors. This structured and well-prepared dialogue allows participants to ask targeted questions and explore concrete opportunities for their educational and career paths.

The fair presents a wide range of opportunities related to training, academic study, and career entry. Central features include apprenticeships, degree programs from various universities, dual study models, internships, and information about volunteer services and international exchange programs. The program is complemented by application training, one-on-one counseling sessions, interactive workshops, and lectures on current topics in education and professional fields.

A particular highlight is the so-called “speed-dating” format with potential employers and educational institutions. This fast-paced networking approach enables participants to make numerous direct contacts in a short amount of time – a valuable first step toward a professional future for many young people. In addition to the scheduled meetings, there are also opportunities for spontaneous encounters and in-depth discussions at the exhibitors’ booths.

vocatium Leipzig goes beyond a traditional education fair. It serves as a tailored platform for individual career orientation and has become one of the most successful events of its kind in Germany. Admission is free, making it accessible to a broad audience. With its strong emphasis on quality, personal engagement, and long-term impact, the fair offers real value to students, parents, teachers, businesses, and universities alike.

The vocatium Leipzig will take place on 2 days from Tuesday, 27. May to Wednesday, 28. May 2025 in Schkeuditz.
