Jena, June 16, 2026 – Summer holidays are just around the corner, but for many young people, the most important question of the year remains unanswered: Where will the vocational training phase of life begin this autumn? The Agentur für Arbeit Jena offers decisive school leavers an ideal platform on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, to find the right match just in time.
- Event: Last-Minute Day for apprenticeship seekers
- Date: Tuesday, June 23, 2026
- Time: 09:00 to 12:00
- Location: Berufsinformationszentrum (BiZ) Jena, Stadtrodaer Straße 1, 07749 Jena
- Admission: Free of charge, no prior registration required
Direct Contact with Companies and Chambers
The Last-Minute Day is characterized by its strong service-oriented nature. Young people receive the unique opportunity to shorten the often lengthy application process. Numerous regional companies will be present on-site, seeking active support for the apprenticeship year starting in late summer.
In addition to the employers themselves, experts from the Industrie- und Handelskammer (IHK) and the Handwerkskammer (HWK) will be represented. This concentrated presence allows young people to conduct initial personal conversations in a relaxed atmosphere, ask questions about daily professional life, and perhaps leave a lasting impression directly on-site. Advisors from the Agentur für Arbeit and the youth employment agency JUBA will also be available to point out individual career paths or discuss alternatives.
More than 250 Vacancies and Alternatives like the BFD
Current figures from the employment agency show that the trip to the BiZ is worthwhile: In the Jena area, there are currently well over 250 apprenticeship positions vacant across all sectors. The spectrum is broad, ranging from skilled trades and the commercial sector to technical professions.
Those who wish to gain other experiences after school will also find what they are looking for on June 23: A contact person for the Bundesfreiwilligendienst (BFD) in Thüringen will be on-site to provide information on bridging and orientation opportunities.
🛡️ Guide: Getting Ready for the On-Site Meeting
- Prepare documents: Anyone who has a current application folder, CV, or their latest certificate ready can hand these directly to interested companies.
- Appear confident: Companies are desperately looking for new talent – a friendly demeanor and honest interest are often more important than perfect grades.
- Ask questions: Take the chance to ask how the apprenticeship specifically works or what further training opportunities exist within the company.
