Are you interested in finding new talent and potential employees? Are you seeking to present your own field of work and showcase the opportunities your company can offer? Do you want to talk to our students about career prospects and your field of work? You can do that – through events, platforms, and contact options organized by the Career Service!

As the interface between companies, organizations, employers, and our students and graduates, we organize career fairs and professional orientation events and run a free job portal, accessible through our Career Center. We help our students find out job requirements, get to know potential employers, and find their dream job.

Do you have any questions? Are you interested in talking to us about your options? If so, please contact us!

We organize and host events meant to give you the opportunity to get to know our students – from career fairs on campus and online events on specific topics to panel discussions and events for international students. Thank you for your interest in getting in touch with our students!

Would you like to take part in one of our events? Contact us!

meet@campus-mainz and Faculty of Law Career Day give you the chance to talk to students and graduates directly on the JGU campus. At your booth, you can provide information about entry level positions, internships, trainee programs, and opportunities to support students with their final theses. Get to know interested students and graduates during spontaneous conversations at your booth or via pre-arranged interviews.

The event is organized by IQB Career Services GmbH.

If you are a small or medium-sized company from the region of Rhenish Hesse and would like to introduce yourself and your field of activity to students from JGU and the Mainz University of Applied Sciences, our “Karriere in der Region” event is your chance.

The “Karriere in der Region” event takes place every year in spring and fall, focusing on either a specific topic or professional field. In this context, employers can give a short presentation about their companies to our students and graduates. Interested students can then visit the company booths for a more personal exchange.

Past topics:

  • Green jobs
  • Corporate consulting
  • Sports & health
  • Media & communication
  • Sustainability

We organize the event in collaboration with the Mainz University of Applied Sciences and the Business Development office of the city of Mainz.

Communication and media, administration and management, research and academia, cultural, political and social affairs – the range of professional fields available to graduates of the humanities and social sciences is vast. Is your organization looking for talent in these areas?

Our career evenings for the humanities and social sciences give employers the opportunity to get in touch with students from these disciplines. Students of the humanities and social sciences often do not have concrete ideas about career opportunities in their fields. You can share insights into your professional practice with a short presentation and then talk to them in a relaxed atmosphere at your booth.

Is your organization looking for international talent? The Matching Week, our online career week for international students and students with a migratory background, gives you the opportunity to reach up to 50,000 students at six higher education institutions in the Rhine-Main region. These young researchers are characterized by extraordinary commitment, great adaptability, and a high degree of internationality.

Matching Week offers a platform for employers and potential employees to meet in a digital setting. Employers select candidates from among the applications they have received and interview them via videocall. The event is advertised at all partner universities.

Organizations and employers who offer or organize internships abroad can present themselves and their services at our digital “Praktika Welt-offen” fair. In this way, you help our students visit interesting countries, continue their personal development, and contribute to their own careers – all at the same time.

There is a short section for presentations in which you give our students an overview of your services and field of activity; then you can meet them and answer their questions in breakout rooms.

As part of our involvement in the FORTHEM Alliance, an alliance of nine European universities from nine European countries, we organize the English-language “Digital Internship Fair” once a year for international students from Mainz, Dijon, Valencia, Riga, Opole, Sibiu, Kristiansand, Jyväskylä und Palermo to find out about internship opportunities in Germany.

If you are interested in international and English-speaking interns, this event gives you the opportunity to briefly present the opportunities your organization has to offer and speak to interested students individually in breakout rooms later.

In our panel discussions on professional fields and subject areas, students can get first-hand information about specific fields of work and the prerequisites for entering them. Representatives from companies and organizations discuss current and frequently occurring issues in their professional fields and answer questions from the student audience.

Past topics:

  • Life sciences
  • Social topics
  • Volunteering
  • Launching your career as a founder
  • Press and public relations

Or would you like to give interested students direct insights into your field of work? Our students visit your company on-site to learn more about it during company visits.

Are you interested in placing job advertisements for internships, working student positions, or entry level positions in your company that are aimed at our approx. 30,000 students – free of charge? Would you like to promote events where students can receive career orientation or earn supplementary qualifications?

Together with JobTeaser, we run our own job and event portal – our Career Center. You can register there to advertise jobs at JGU or publish events, free of charge.

You can create a profile with further information about your organization in our Career Center. To do so, you must register as a company on the website.

A company profile is also the right choice if you want to create events as well as advertise jobs free of charge. Events appear in the event calendar and are automatically included in the weekly newsletter.

Create a recruiter account if you primarily want to advertise jobs. You can create and publish up to four job advertisements per year free of charge. If you want to publish more than that, you can create a company profile.

If you have questions, you can check the comprehensive FAQ for recruiters.

Good luck recruiting!

We are not the right contact for advertisements or holding your own company events on campus. Please contact JGU’s Infrastructural Property Management (Infrastrukturelles Liegenschaftsmanagement) for related inquiries.

Volunteering and gaining work experience at the same time – that’s the idea behind our service-learning projects.

Together with foundations, associations, and NGOs, we organize projects for innovative learning which allow students to volunteer and contribute to society mainly through independent work. In doing so, they gain professional experience and can apply their knowledge and newly acquired skills while learning a lot of new things.

Participating organizations profit from interdisciplinary teams made up of motivated students who help carry out current or new projects. Organizations are introduced to new concepts and approaches for their own work, receive energetic support with their activities, and get to know potential volunteers or future employees.

Thanks to our involvement in the FORTHEM Alliance, which is made up of nine cooperating European universities, projects can also be implemented internationally and in English!

With around 30,000 students from more than 120 countries, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) is one of the largest German universities and the academic and scientific hub of the state of Rhineland-Palatinate. About 4,700 academics, including around 580 professors, teach and conduct research here at over 150 institutes and medical centers.

Our students study and conduct research in more than 70 disciplines and over 240 degree programs. JGU covers nearly the entire spectrum of subjects taught at universities – from law, management, and economics to the natural and social sciences and the humanities, to medicine and dentistry and the integration of music, fine arts, and sports, which is unique in the German educational landscape. Additionally, the Faculty of Translation Studies, Linguistics, and Cultural Studies, located in Germersheim, trains translators and interpreters in various European and non-European languages.

This variety of subjects guarantees interdisciplinary research and teaching, and – in the spirit of the university’s namesake Johannes Gutenberg – innovative approaches to new ideas and technologies. And that’s how we turn 30,000 students into 30,000 new talents for your company.
