vocatium Bielefeld

23. - 24. June 2026 | Trade fair for education, studies, internships, and career orientation | regional Fair

The vocatium Bielefeld is an annual career and education fair that has established itself as a targeted platform for young people exploring their career options. Organized by the renowned IfT Institute for Talent Development GmbH, which has specialized in personalized career guidance and further education since 2008, the fair is part of a nationwide network spanning over 80 locations across Germany. Its distinctive feature: pre-scheduled advisory sessions that allow for thorough preparation and provide tailored guidance.

Held in the centrally located Stadthalle Bielefeld—just a ten-minute walk from the main train station—the event brings together students, university attendees, and early-career professionals with companies, universities, and institutions from a wide range of industries. At its core is face-to-face interaction—with training companies, universities, providers of dual study programs, and organizations offering volunteer service opportunities. This is complemented by informational booths, hands-on workshops, and a diverse program of talks covering topics such as student finance, career planning, and application tips.

A special highlight is the creative Poetry Slam on the topic of the future, which offers fresh and unconventional perspectives on career orientation. Another popular feature is the “speed-dating” format with potential employers, offering participants the chance to make numerous professional contacts in a short time.

Whether it's choosing a degree program, exploring dual vocational training, gaining international perspectives, or honing application skills, vocatium Bielefeld provides not just information, but real decision-making support. The fair primarily targets graduating classes—from secondary school to high school—and stands out for its well-organized structure, relevance, efficiency, and personal approach.

Even the satirical claim that “Bielefeld doesn’t exist” is charmingly disproven here—because year after year, vocatium demonstrates that Bielefeld is a very real and important place for many young people taking their first steps into professional life.

The vocatium will take place on 2 days from Tuesday, 23. June to Wednesday, 24. June 2026 in Bielefeld.
