Record number of visitors at the Job(i)vent trade fair: Young talents in focus!

The city of Saalfelden recently transformed into a melting pot of career opportunities when the 7th Job(i)vent trade fair took place on October 9th and 10th at Congress Saalfelden. A new visitor record was achieved, which underlines the importance of this event as a central information platform for young people and job seekers in the region. At a time when professional orientation is becoming increasingly important, Job(i)vent offered numerous opportunities to find out about apprenticeships and exciting career paths.

A total of 70 exhibitors presented their apprenticeships and training opportunities. Visitors were able to get to know the individual job profiles in a practical way at interactive activity stations. The focus was not only on conveying information, but also on a personal approach. “The trade fair gives young people the chance to talk directly to HR managers, trainees and students,” said a spokesman for the organizers. This is also highlighted positively by the employment agency, because direct contact is worth its weight in gold in order to find out experiences directly from young people and to make initial contacts that could later be useful for applications.

Program highlights and honors

The highlights of the Job(i)vent were the information discussions and the honoring of outstanding apprentices, who had a special place in the trade fair. This recognized the achievements of young talents and motivated other students to actively look for training places. The event was moderated by Sebastian “Kaufi” Kaufmann, who guided the participants through the program with his charming manner.

The event has established itself as a fixture in career orientation in recent years and brings a breath of fresh air to career opportunities in the region. With numerous offers and information about potential training positions or suitable universities and technical colleges, visitors were given a look at careers that are often difficult to get online. Human resources managers explained the requirements for applications and gave valuable tips on how to ask parents or a trusted person for support if anything was unclear.

A look into the future

The organizers are optimistic about the 8th Job(i)vent, which is planned for 2026. This trend shows that the Job(i)vent trade fair is not just a one-off event, but also offers long-term support for young people who want to orientate themselves on their career path.

Job fairs like Job(i)vent are not only a must for anyone looking for a new challenge, but also a valuable opportunity to expand your own professional perspectives. Ultimately, direct exchange with experts and like-minded people is the best way to find out where your passion could one day lead. If you missed the chance, you should mark the next dates in red on your calendar.
