Charge Your Career... WITH POWERFUL CONNECTIONS!
On Wednesday, 14 October 2026, our own job expo, THCONNECT, will take place in Hall 17 on the TH Wildau campus from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm. The focus this year is firmly on face-to-face interaction: 27 exhibitors from different industries will be present to give students, graduates, school pupils and other interested individuals the opportunity to find out about their organisations, ask questions and talk to them about specific career paths.
THCONNECT 2026 is all about direct exchange and making personal connections – whether you already have a clear idea of your future career or are still exploring your options. At the fair, you can find out more about internships, working student positions, graduate positions and other career opportunities, while meeting potential employers.
If you need assistance with getting started or approaching exhibitors, you can join one of our guided Expo tours as part of the programme. You will also have the opportunity to have your professional application photos taken, including styling and to have your CV checked for free or simply take a break with a cup of coffee in the lounge and browse our on-site job board for suitable vacancies.
Already curious about which organisations will be exhibiting? Take a look at our digital Expo catalogue, (including the exhibitor list), which you can access via the link on this page. The catalogue will also feature current job vacancies.
We bring visitors and exhibitors together to create meaningful connections for future careers!
