The "parentum" fair in Braunschweig is a specialized event tailored specifically for teenagers at the age of career choice and their parents. The name "parentum" underscores the central theme of the fair – connecting parents and their growing children in a joint dialogue about career orientation. The fair is held annually, usually in October, at the Volkswagen Hall – a prestigious venue for major events in Braunschweig. It was established by the IfT Institute for Talent Development GmbH, an experienced organizer, which, in addition to "parentum", also organizes the esteemed information and learning forum "vocatium" related to career choices and education. The primary aim of the fair is to facilitate a dialogue about career orientation between companies, universities, academies, and other educational institutions with teenagers and their parents. Topics discussed include training, academic studies, dual studies, internships, school qualifications, voluntary commitments, gap-year opportunities, and financial aid. The fair offers a plethora of services, such as a training placement market showcasing current vacancies, a resume-checking service, and a career guide that directs visitors to suitable exhibitors after a discussion. An extensive supporting program with lectures, workshops, and activities provides additional informational opportunities. The focus is clearly on information dissemination and personal interaction. The exhibitors hail from various sectors – from companies to universities and other educational institutions. The fair's attendees consist of teenagers on the verge of making career decisions and their parents seeking advice and information. The "parentum" fair in Braunschweig is part of a series of fairs held in various cities such as Lübeck, Friedrichshafen, Fürth, Magdeburg, Nuremberg, Potsdam, Regensburg, and Würzburg. In conclusion, it's worth mentioning that the Volkswagen Hall is not only notable for its central location in Braunschweig but also for its modern infrastructure and easy accessibility, making it the ideal venue for such an important event.
