Chemnitz Training Fair 2025: Professional experiences for the whole family!
The Chemnitz training fair will take place on September 12, 2025 at the Chemnitz University of Technology. This event will be open from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. for students in grades 7 and up, their parents and teachers and is free of charge. Registration for direct visits and special shuttle bus tours is required by September 10, 2025 at www.check-deine-zukunft.de, as [tu-chemnitz.de] reports. The training fair is part of the “Long Night of Training”, which is organized by the Industrieverein Sachsen 1828 e.V. and the Chemnitz Skilled Workers Alliance.
The trade fair offers insights into various career profiles, including industrial mechanic, electronics engineer for devices and systems and electronics engineer for industrial technology. Visitors can expect demonstrations of manufacturing processes and technologies. There is also the opportunity to talk to trainers and trainees and try out craft activities. The part in the university part along the Road of Nations will offer interactive opportunities to get to know each other.
A path to practical insights
In the context of this event, reference can be made to the premiere of the “Long Night of Training” on September 27, 2024. On this occasion, 22 companies from the region opened their doors to students and their parents. The aim was to offer practical insights into the region's professional world. Around 600 participants took part in the event, and companies such as Siemens, Volkswagen and the Chemnitz city administration presented themselves.
Popular shuttle tours allowed visitors to tour two to three companies and speak directly with human resources managers. This initiative shows the high demand for industrial, technical and administrative careers in the region. Katrin Hoffmann, managing director of the Industrieverein Sachsen 1828 e.V., expressed her satisfaction with the great interest in training opportunities.
Chemnitz Skilled Workers Alliance: A networked approach
The Chemnitz Skilled Workers Alliance, which was founded in 2016, plays a central role in securing skilled workers in the region. Their goal is close cooperation to develop measures and projects to secure skilled workers. The legal basis for this is the skilled workers guidelines of the Saxon State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Labor and Transport, which defines the framework conditions and funding requirements, and the 2030 skilled workers strategy for the Free State of Saxony, as [chemnitz.de] highlights.
The Economics Division of the City of Chemnitz and the Chemnitz Employment Agency are managing members of the alliance, which offer an important platform for the exchange of project ideas. From June 1, 2025, applications for projects will only be possible digitally via the SAB funding portal, which should simplify access to the funding application.
Overall, the event on September 12, 2025 follows a proven concept that aims to offer young people practical experience and present suitable trainees to the region's companies. The good networking between the skilled workers alliance, companies and educational institutions plays a crucial role.
