Azubiz career fair: Over 2,000 students set a record in Steinburg!
In Itzehoe, preparations for the 25th Azubiz vocational training fair are in full swing. On Friday, September 26th, the Regional Vocational Training Center of the Steinburg District (RBZ) will open its doors and is expecting over 2,000 young visitors. The trade fair, which has developed into an important event for career orientation over the years, promises numerous exciting offers on this day.
With more than 150 companies, universities and academies from all over Germany, a wide range of over 200 different training offers is presented. Organizer Marie Kluthe and her comrade-in-arms Christel Butenschön have put together a diverse program that specifically targets students from community schools and high schools.
New speed dating format
A highlight of this year's trade fair is the newly introduced speed dating format. It is intended to enable young people to talk directly to companies, without inhibitions and on an equal footing. This offer not only aims to provide information, but also to create a relaxed atmosphere where questions can be asked and answers given. An innovative step to facilitate exchange between students and employers.
The trainee fair aims not only to inform students, but also to actively involve them in the career orientation process. The-duals highlights the importance of such events for improving vocational training by offering low-threshold opportunities for interaction.
Future of education
Dual vocational training enjoys great importance in Germany, which is also made clear by the numerous information stands at the trade fair. Visitors have the chance to find out about dual and trial study programs and to address their questions directly to the companies. iMOVE offers comprehensive information about the dual system, which is considered a model in many countries and is particularly impressive due to the practical training in companies.
With a colorful mix of hands-on activities, informative discussions and the opportunity to discover potential training positions, the Azubiz 2025 will be an experience that is intended to support students in their career orientation. It remains to be seen whether the organizers can exceed the record numbers of previous years. However, one thing is certain: the trainee fair is a pacesetter for the professional future of young people in the region.
