Why connecticum?
At connecticum you get information first-hand.
Talk directly to HR staff and specialists about tasks, teams and getting started. Company representatives show you where you could work – beyond the job ad.
Bring your CV: experts check it right at the booth, in German or English, and you take away concrete tips for your application.
At the booth, the conversation counts, not the cover letter. If you make a good impression, you make the contact for your application on the spot – or you apply afterwards, better informed.
Global players, medium-sized companies, family businesses, tech and IT companies and hidden champions: compare companies and working cultures on site and discover employers you had not considered.
Many exhibitors also hold conversations in English, especially international employers and IT companies. Your CV can be in German or English.
You do not need a suit or a perfect performance. What counts is the conversation, not the outfit – come as you are.
Who is it for?
connecticum is for students at every stage of their degree, graduates, apprentices and professionals – all four are equally important target groups.
Internship, working-student job or thesis: get to know employers while you study and prepare your start after graduation.
Trainee programme, graduate entry or first job: talk to employers about your start and compare the entry routes on site.
A senior position, a move into a new field or the next step towards leadership: at connecticum you talk to specialists and managers as equals.
Apprenticeship, dual study or the step after: talk to employers who train apprentices and ask where the path leads after training.
