Move2Career 2027: Discover professions, shape the future

On Wednesday, February 17, 2027, the region around Bochum and Herne will transform into a vibrant exploration tour for career orientation. At Move2Career, numerous companies will open their doors and show young people real job opportunities, training paths, and career prospects directly on site.

Career orientation with real insights

Move2Career is not a traditional career fair. Instead of crowded booths, participants experience companies where work actually takes place. Students meet trainees, trainers, ask personal questions, and gain an authentic impression of everyday work life.

The spectrum of possible exploration tours ranges from IT and technology to skilled trades, as well as commercial, social, and creative professions. The event supports young people in examining their interests, learning about career fields, and establishing contacts with potential training companies.

Four time slots for individual exploration tours

Between 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM, several visiting time slots are available. Through the Move2Career platform, participants select suitable companies, book their personal appointments, and then independently travel to each event location. This creates an individualized action day with multiple stations and different insights.

An additional time slot in the afternoon is aimed at children and parents. From 2:00 PM to 2:45 PM, families can visit companies together and inform themselves about training, internships, career exploration, and dual studies.

Direct conversations instead of anonymous applications

The special event atmosphere is created through personal encounters. Young people speak directly with individuals from the companies, experience work processes, and learn which skills are in demand in specific professions. The so-called applicant card also provides a way to express interest in a career exploration spot, internship, training position, or dual study program.

For schools and teachers, digital organization plays an important role in event management. Classes are prepared, appointments coordinated, and visitation requests bundled. Companies set their offerings and capacities. This structured event planning provides orientation for all participants.

An established format for Bochum and Herne

Move2Career will take place for the fourth time in 2027. Since its launch in 2024, the action day has developed into a fixed part of regional career orientation. The retrospective of the official Move2Career platform reports more than 350 participating companies and over 4,000 students at the action days since 2024.

The format is supported by labor market and education stakeholders from Bochum and Herne, including the cities of Bochum and Herne, the economic development agencies, the employment agency, and the IHK Mittleres Ruhrgebiet.

Conclusion: The future begins with the first insight

Move2Career 2027 brings young people, schools, and companies together personally. Those who want to explore various career fields not only from brochures but in a real work environment will find valuable orientation and direct contacts here. The exploration tour offers space for questions, encounters, and the first step toward training or internship.
