vocatium Neubrandenburg

vocatium is a specialised education and careers guidance fair that offers young people structured, one-to-one support in making informed decisions about their professional future. The name “vocatium” is derived from the Latin vocatio, symbolising vocation and future prospects. The fair’s primary aim is to enable well-founded choices regarding vocational training, higher education and career pathways.

The vocatium fair takes place annually at the Jahnsportforum in Neubrandenburg. Located in the heart of the city, this modern multi-purpose venue provides ideal conditions for advisory meetings, information stands and presentations. It is easily accessible both by public transport and by car.

The event is organised by IfT Institut für Talententwicklung GmbH, a nationwide education provider with many years of experience in individual career and study guidance. vocatium forms part of a Germany-wide series of fairs held at more than 80 locations and clearly distinguishes itself from conventional careers fairs through its unique concept of pre-scheduled one-to-one meetings.

The fair focuses on careers guidance, vocational training, dual study programmes, university study and continuing professional development. Visitors are presented with specific apprenticeship and degree opportunities, dual study options, internships, voluntary service programmes, as well as entry-level and qualification schemes. These offerings are complemented by practical services such as application workshops, interview preparation advice and personalised career counselling.

A defining feature of vocatium is its personal “speed-dating” format. Pupils meet directly with training providers, universities, vocational colleges and advisory organisations in pre-arranged, individual discussions conducted on an equal footing. This approach enables meaningful exchanges and realistic insights into a wide range of career fields within a short period of time.

Exhibitors represent a broad spectrum of sectors, including industry, skilled trades, commerce, healthcare, public administration, social services, and both public and private education providers. While the primary target group consists of pupils in their final school years, the fair also appeals to students, career starters and young adults seeking to reorient themselves professionally. For the city of Neubrandenburg and the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, vocatium serves as an important meeting point for regional and national employers, educational institutions and the future skilled workforce.

In summary, the vocatium fair at the Jahnsportforum Neubrandenburg offers a highly practical and personal platform for forward-looking career decisions. Its central location close to the main railway station, combined with ample parking facilities, ensures easy access and reinforces vocatium’s commitment to providing guidance precisely where young people need it most.

The vocatium will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 25. March to Thursday, 26. March 2026 in Neubrandenburg.
