vocatium Krefeld

The vocatium Krefeld/Niederrhein is an annual education and career fair held at the Seidenweberhaus Krefeld, a centrally located and traditional venue in the heart of the city. It is organized by the IfT Institut für Talententwicklung GmbH, which has been successfully running career and study orientation fairs across Germany for many years. Admission is free, and the event is open to students, parents, teachers, professionals, and anyone interested, including those who wish to attend spontaneously without prior registration.

The fair is characterized by its personal and high-quality focus on individual career and study choices. At its core are one-on-one meetings that are scheduled in advance between students and exhibitors. This concept creates a calm and professional atmosphere, enabling conversations at eye level with HR managers, university representatives, and career advisors who can respond directly to the visitors’ questions and aspirations.

The spectrum of topics covers vocational and school-based training, dual study programs, and traditional bachelor’s and master’s degrees. In addition, companies, universities, and institutions provide information about internships, entry-level programs, and voluntary services such as FSJ, FÖJ, or BFD, which offer young people additional perspectives after finishing school. Workshops and presentations on application documents, assessment center training, and career or study choices complement the program and provide practical guidance for shaping one’s career path.

The main target group consists of students in grades 10 to 13 from all types of schools. The fair also addresses university students seeking reorientation or planning a master’s degree, as well as parents and teachers who support young people in their decision-making process.

With both regional and national exhibitors, vocatium Krefeld/Niederrhein offers the opportunity to connect with companies and universities from the local area as well as institutions operating nationwide—an advantage for anyone exploring career opportunities in the Lower Rhine region or across Germany.

Bringing all these elements together, the vocatium fair provides concrete pathways for individual career and study planning, ensures a unique quality of guidance through its scheduled one-on-one meetings, and offers a well-structured program that serves as a valuable decision-making aid for both students and university attendees alike.

The vocatium will take place on 2 days from Wednesday, 10. September to Thursday, 11. September 2025 in Krefeld.
