vocatium Augsburg

vocatium Augsburg is an annual trade fair dedicated to education, training, and career orientation, specifically designed for students approaching their career decision phase. As one of the most successful events of its kind in Germany, it offers a well-structured, personalized platform for young people planning concrete steps toward their professional future. The fair is organized by the IfT Institute for Talent Development GmbH, a seasoned organizer specializing in tailored career and academic guidance. The Institute hosts vocatium fairs not only in Augsburg but at over 80 locations across Germany, forming part of an established network that supports tens of thousands of students each year as they navigate options in training, higher education, and voluntary service.

The event takes place at Kongress am Park, a centrally located, modern venue adjacent to Wittelsbacher Park. This architecturally striking hall is known for its excellent acoustics and convenient access—just a ten-minute tram ride from the main train station. For those arriving by car, ample parking is available in the surrounding area.

What sets vocatium Augsburg apart is its unique concept of scheduled one-on-one interviews. Prior to the event, students can book personal appointments with training companies, universities, and various institutions. This targeted format makes each conversation efficient, binding, and highly valuable. The fair experience is further enriched by a program of informative talks on topics such as applications, career planning, and vocational orientation, along with interactive formats like the MINT Forum, which includes science slams to spark interest in fields like mathematics, computer science, natural sciences, and technology.

In addition to traditional subjects such as vocational training, dual study programs, and university offerings, the fair also provides information on internships, volunteer services, and opportunities abroad. It includes focused application training and thorough student preparation through school visits, workshops, and a specially developed fair handbook that guides participants through the event’s content and conversations. Notably, the event is held under the patronage of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, as well as regional representatives, emphasizing its importance within the educational landscape.

With its strong emphasis on personalized guidance, regional integration, and innovative communication formats, vocatium Augsburg is much more than a conventional education fair—it is a meaningful component of individual career planning and a key meeting point for students, businesses, and educational institutions alike.

The vocatium will take place on 2 days from Tuesday, 28. April to Wednesday, 29. April 2026 in Augsburg.
