Information for Companies
The next International Career Fair will be held on Wednesday, October 25, 2023 at the IBZ.
Is your company internationally active or are you currently developing new markets? Are you looking for qualified young academics who are well-trained in their field and have intercultural and foreign language skills? Take the opportunity to talk to potential new employees at the next International Career Fair!
In previous years, we have already achieved very pleasing results with the International Career Fair, both for the participating companies from the district of the Dortmund Chamber of Industry and Commerce and for the international talents. The 11th International Career Fair further strengthened these positive effects and at the same time made even better use of the region's great potential. The fair is organized by the International Office of TU Dortmund University and the Dortmund Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
What is so special about this fair?
- The international orientation: The International Career Fair is aimed primarily at foreign graduates and students. The young personalities come to our university from all continents and are given the opportunity to study, do research or complete internships in regional companies with an international context. Almost 4,000 students from abroad are enrolled at TU Dortmund University, most of them in the so-called MINT subjects (mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technical subjects). This mutual exchange strengthens and expands the global network of Dortmund as a location. Foreign language skills, international study experience and intercultural experience of this group of students make our graduates particularly interesting for your international business.
- The perfectly arranged and fitting appointments with your desired candidates: With the help of "Talentefinder", the company representatives and the students get to know each other before the fair. If it suits both sides, the match leads to an appointment on the day of the fair. So in the morning, very targeted and prepared talks take place. In the afternoon, the format is open and students from all disciplines can visit the fair without pre-registration.

The fair was held in 2022 as a face-to-face event with a hygiene concept in the International Meeting Centre.
What do students expect from the career fair?
International students can filter the Talentefinder app according to whether they are looking for an internship, want to write their thesis at a company or want to start their first job. Therefore, your offers should ideally also be as specific as possible.

The International Career Fair is organized by the International Office of TU Dortmund University and the Dortmund Chamber of Industry and Commerce.
What does the participation in the event cost?
Participation in the career fair is free both for companies and students.
Where does the career fair take place?
The fair takes place in the International Meeting Centre (IBZ), Emil-Figge-Str. 59, on the North Campus of TU Dortmund University. Sufficient parking spaces are available in the immediate vicinity of the IBZ. The International Meeting Center offers an excellent venue for networking between the university and the regional economy. The construction of the International Meeting Center (IBZ) has already shown that science and business in Dortmund are moving closer together: the building was financed mainly by donations from companies in Dortmund and the region. The students of TU Dortmund University have also made a major contribution to the center with their tuition fees.
What happens after the fair?
The newly established contacts should be followed up to utilize the positive effects of the career fair in the medium term. We would also like to reflect and consider your experience and evaluations in order to further develop cooperation between the regional economy and the international student body.
