Career orientation resources and vocational fairs in Germany

The EBK Neuss recently hosted a vocational information fair designed to assist students and young people in exploring various career paths, including apprenticeships and university studies. The event featured numerous participants, such as Henkel, CBS International Business School, and the City of Neuss, providing insights into different professional fields and educational opportunities.

In Germany, individuals seeking information on vocational training can utilize BERUFENET, a database maintained by the Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit). This resource provides details on job tasks, requirements, and career prospects. Additionally, the Federal Institute for Vocational Training (BIBB) publishes an annual directory of recognized occupations; the 2026 edition lists 324 officially recognized professions under the Vocational Training Act and the Crafts Code.
