The vocatium is a renowned education and career orientation fair that takes place annually at XPOST in Cologne. XPOST is a modern event center located within the premises of a historical building – the former parcel post on the banks of the Rhine in Cologne.

Since its founding in 2008, the fair has been organized by the IfT Institute for Talent Development, a specialist in individual career orientation and further education. The IfT is not only active in Cologne but also in numerous other locations in Germany, organizing the vocatium fairs as part of a nationwide network for individual career and study orientation for students and young people. The unique fair concept, with pre-arranged conversation appointments, has been established at more than 80 locations throughout Germany. The main topics of the vocatium are education, career orientation, studies, training, and further education, with companies, universities, and institutions from various industries represented. The fair's focal points are personal consultation sessions, information booths, and presentations that assist visitors in their career orientation. A special highlight is the so-called “speed-dating” with potential employers and educational institutions, enabling visitors to establish numerous interesting contacts in a short time. The vocatium is considered one of the most successful events of its kind in Germany and has evolved over the years into an important meeting point for students, university graduates, career entrants, and employers. In summary, the vocatium at XPOST in Cologne is an established platform for individual career orientation, offering participants a wide range of opportunities for personal development and network building.
