vocatium Rhine-Main Offenbach am Main

The vocatium Rhein-Main is an annual education and career orientation fair held at the Offenbach Exhibition Centre (Messe Offenbach am Main). As a specialized event open to the public free of charge, it offers students, university attendees, and young job seekers a structured platform for individual career planning. Since its establishment in 2008, the fair has been organized by the renowned IfT Institut für Talententwicklung GmbH, known nationwide for specialized career guidance and further education, hosting vocatium fairs at over 80 locations.

The centrally located Offenbach Exhibition Centre is situated near the banks of the Main River and is easily accessible by public transport. The venue occupies the historic grounds of the former Offenbach leather industry, uniquely blending modern functionality with the industrial charm of the 19th century, giving vocatium Rhein-Main its distinctive atmosphere.

A key feature of vocatium is its individually scheduled advisory meetings, which facilitate direct exchanges between visitors, companies, universities, and various institutions across different industries. Additionally, the fair offers informative lectures and preparatory workshops covering topics such as job applications, career choices, and planning. A particularly popular event is the speed-dating format, which allows participants to establish valuable contacts with potential employers and educational institutions quickly.

The fair emphasizes career orientation, professional opportunities, training, and educational programs, including dual-study options and academic careers across various fields. Practical job application training and personalized consultations conducted by experienced HR professionals further enhance the event's offerings. Special attention is given to innovative industries such as IT, engineering, technology, and STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), along with contemporary workplace trends such as digitalization, sustainability, artificial intelligence, and green jobs.

Over the years, vocatium Rhein-Main has evolved into a significant networking event for students, young professionals, and employers in the region. It actively supports comprehensive personal development, clarifies career prospects, and fosters professional networking, thereby facilitating a successful entry into the workforce or higher education pathways.

The vocatium Rhine-Main will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 27. May to Thursday, 28. May 2026 in Offenbach am Main.
