University Careers Fair (HKB)

Company contact fair

Twice a year, the University Careers Fair (Hochschulkontaktbörse - HKB) at the Furtwangen campus offers students and graduates the opportunity to network with company recruiters. HR managers from industry, trade, commerce and services are on hand to discuss employment and internship opportunities, and topics for Bachelor's and Master's theses.

Our next HKB networking event will take place on:

Wednesday, 15 May 2024

Registration is possible from the beginning of December. We look forward to seeing you at the next HKB!

Please note that due to renovation work on the Furtwangen campus, the next HKB will take place under slightly different conditions. All relevant information will be posted on this page.

Decision-making: Hybrid or digital?

When registering, you have the option of participating purely digitally. In this case, you have the opportunity to make appointments in advance via "Vystem" for 15 May from 2.30pm (exclusively digital) with students for discussions and/or to give a lecture in a virtual room. If you do not wish to host a live digital event on the day of the event, you can also simply create a digital exhibitor profile to draw our students' attention to your company.

The "Hybrid" option means that you would like to have a stand on site and participate in the trade fair digitally at the same time. If there are not enough exhibitor spaces available on site, we will ask you in a further step whether you would like to participate purely digitally.

We will of course inform you as soon as possible about the form in which we have scheduled your exhibition.

All exhibitors who participate in presence can automatically use the digital presentation via "vystem".

If you opt for a hybrid exhibition, the following services are included:

  • Digital exhibitor profile
  • 6m² exhibition stand area (3m x 2m)
  • Power supply at the stand if required - 230 V electrical connection. If you are from Switzerland, please remember to bring an appropriate adapter.
  • Internet (WLAN) access throughout the building on the day of the University Contact Fair
  • Free catering during the entire fair for stand personnel (for up to 3 people)
  • Stand furniture will be provided as required:
    o up to two standard tables (approx. 70 x 70 cm)
    o up to four standard chairs (note: bar stools cannot be provided)
    o up to two round bar tables
  • Possibility to display five free permanent job advertisements via our HFU-internal, digital job portal
  • Posting of job advertisements on site on the day of the event on the job exchange wall
  • Presentation of a specialist lecture (15 minutes) in one of our modern lecture rooms (availability not guaranteed due to limited numbers)
