vocatium Bonn

The vocatium Fair is an educational and career guidance fair that takes place annually at the Brückenforum in Bonn. The forum is located in the heart of Bonn, near the Rhine, and is surrounded by numerous hotels, restaurants, and attractions in the city. It was built on a former freight railway station and features an impressive steel structure with large windows and an open courtyard. The fair has been organized by the IfT Institute for Talent Development since its founding year in 2008, which specializes in individual career guidance and further education.

The IfT Institute for Talent Development organizes vocatium fairs not only in Bonn but also in many other locations in Germany. The vocatium fairs are part of a nationwide network focusing on individual career and study guidance for students and young people. The unique fair concept, with scheduled conversations, has been successfully implemented in over 80 locations across Germany. Main topics include education, career guidance, study, training, and further education, with representation from various industries, including companies, universities, and institutions. The focus is on personal consultation sessions, information booths, and lectures that assist visitors in their career orientation. A highlight of the fair is the so-called "speed dating" with potential employers and educational institutions, providing visitors the opportunity to establish many interesting contacts in a short time. The vocatium Fair is considered one of the most successful events of its kind in Germany and has evolved into an important meeting point for students, graduates, job starters, and employers over the years. In summary, the vocatium Fair at the Brückenforum Bonn is an established platform for individual career guidance, offering participants numerous opportunities for personal development and networking.

The vocatium will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 14. May to Thursday, 15. May 2025 in Bonn.
