ABOUT THE FAIR
The Karrieretag is an innovative and practice-oriented job and career fair that offers both applicants and companies a valuable platform to connect in person, establish new contacts, and discover fresh career opportunities. The name “Karrieretag” stands for a day dedicated entirely to the topic of career, reflecting all key aspects of the modern working world. The event takes place twice a year, in spring and autumn, at the renowned Stadthalle am Johannisberg in Wuppertal—a historic venue known for its central location, modern infrastructure, and excellent transport connections.
The organizer of the Karrieretag is HR Veranstaltungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, one of Germany’s leading providers of career fairs, which hosts similar events in numerous cities across the country. As a result, the Karrieretag is part of a successful series of fairs that opens up exceptional networking opportunities for both job seekers and companies throughout Germany.
At the heart of the fair are current job openings presented by leading regional companies from a wide range of industries, from small and medium-sized enterprises to international market leaders. The offering is complemented by a variety of services: free application checks by experienced professionals as well as 20-minute career and application coaching sessions provide tailored support for career planning or a fresh professional start. Expert talks on topics such as artificial intelligence in the application process, resilience, or career changes offer further impulses for personal development. Face-to-face networking and recruiting on-site allow applicants and company representatives to explore career opportunities together in a relaxed atmosphere.
The fair is specifically aimed at graduates, young professionals, as well as specialists and managers who wish to advance their careers or explore new directions, and at companies seeking qualified talent for their teams. Exhibitors represent a wide variety of sectors, including industry, IT, technology, trade, services, administration, and healthcare. For Wuppertal, the Karrieretag is also an opportunity to present itself as a dynamic business location and to highlight local labor market prospects.
The Karrieretag at the Stadthalle am Johannisberg goes far beyond the concept of a traditional job fair. It combines practical career advice, high-profile exhibitors, and innovative event formats under one roof. Visitors benefit from a unique blend of personal conversations, exclusive services, and in-depth expertise. Outstanding accessibility—with more than 700 affordable parking spaces and direct access to the parking garage on Südstraße—as well as the central location make attending the fair particularly convenient for participants from Wuppertal, the Bergisches Land region, and beyond. Anyone looking to develop their career or discover new opportunities will find the right options at the Karrieretag—right in the heart of Wuppertal.
The Karrieretag will take place on Thursday, 17. September 2026 in Wuppertal.
