vocatium Dortmund

The vocatium fair is an education and career orientation fair that takes place annually in the Dortmund exhibition center. The exhibition hall, which is located in the heart of Dortmund, offers enough space for the event on a large area. It is located near the center of Dortmund and is easily accessible both by public transport and by car. Since it was founded in 2008, the fair has been organized by the organizer IfT Institute for Talent Development, which specializes in individual career orientation and further education.

The IfT Institute for Talent Development organizes the vocatium trade fairs in Dortmund and at many other locations in Germany. The vocatium fairs are part of a nationwide network that focuses on individual career and study orientation for schoolchildren and young people. The unique trade fair concept with scheduled meetings has established itself at more than 80 locations throughout Germany. The main topics include education, career orientation, studies, training and further education, with companies, universities, and institutions from various sectors being represented. The focus is on personal consultations, information stands and lectures that support visitors in their professional orientation. A highlight of the fair is the so-called “speed dating” with potential employers and educational institutions, which offers visitors the opportunity to make many interesting contacts in a short time. The vocatium fair is considered one of the most successful events of its kind in Germany and over the years has developed into an important meeting place for schoolchildren, students, young professionals and employers. In summary, the vocatium fair at Messe Dortmund is an established platform for individual career orientation, which offers participants numerous opportunities for personal development and networking.

The vocatium will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 04. June to Thursday, 05. June 2025 in Dortmund.
