Pirmasens Career Information Exchange: Expect last-minute applications!

Next Saturday, September 19th, the career information exchange (BIB) in Pirmasens will be entering its 16th round. There are more than 108 exhibitors in the exhibition halls in Pirmasens, of which only a few stands are available. Since its founding in 2009, the BIB has established itself as a central platform for companies and young professionals to show career prospects and recruit skilled workers. Around 3,500 students from the entire region are expected, including Pirmasens, the district of Südwestpfalz, Zweibrücken and even France, all as part of the Federal Employment Agency's Eures program.

“The trade fair not only offers information on a wide range of professional fields, but also the opportunity for “last-minute applications” for available training positions in the coming year,” report the organizers. Participation in the event is free for both exhibitors and visitors. The BIB is organized by the BIB Pirmasens association, which was founded in 2023 and is entirely voluntary and supported by regional companies.

Securing skilled workers and professional orientation

The importance of the BIB for securing skilled workers in the region could not be higher. Companies have the opportunity to specifically discover new talent and address their needs. The initiative is a ray of hope at a time when many companies are struggling to find qualified workers. Access to this platform makes it possible to make contacts and exchange information, so that not only young people but also employers can benefit.

Another aspect that should not go unmentioned is the connection to the EURES portal, which has been a network that has been supporting job seekers from EU countries as well as Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway in their job searches since 1994. On this portal, users can easily search for suitable jobs and find out about living and working conditions in different countries. Such offers reinforce the view that mobility is a must in today's professional world. EURES promotes the free movement of workers and facilitates cooperation between different employment services.

A look at EURES

EURES acts as a European cooperation network that supports citizens and companies in the EU, as well as the countries mentioned, with all questions relating to labor mobility. EURES offers a very useful service: from almost 1,000 EURES advisors offering support with labor mobility to online recruitment events where jobseekers can meet employers in a targeted manner. These services are important not only for employees but also for companies looking for the best talent. These measures ensure a high level of transparency about employment opportunities.

In summary, it can be said that the career information exchange in Pirmasens is an important event for everyone who wants to start the professional world or realign their career. With the support of EURES, which continues to provide innovative programs and support, the future looks bright for many jobseekers and companies. There is great anticipation for the event and the opportunities seem to be exactly where you need them.
