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. Over 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.

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.

Who is the Career Fair of interest to?

Among the participating companies, the focus is on those from Dortmund and the region, more precisely from the district of the Dortmund Chamber of Industry and Commerce. However, national employers also take part, including corporations, small and medium-sized enterprises and start-ups.

Participation is particularly interesting for companies that are internationally active or are just entering new markets and are looking for qualified young academics who are well trained in their field and have intercultural and foreign language skills.
