Event at Vocational Information Centre Offers Chances to Connect National and Global Markets

On Thursday, February 6th, 2025, the BiZ Wuppertal will host a career fair called "Bridging the Gap". This event, located at Hünefeldstraße 10a, 42285 Wuppertal, aims to provide valuable information and resources for individuals seeking to bridge the gap between high school and university or vocational training, both in Germany and abroad.

The fair will feature nine organisations, including CultureCare, specialising in Au Pair/Study USA programs, AIFS offering overseas stays in America, Asia, Africa, and Oceania, EF Education providing language trips and High School Year opportunities, and Internationaler Bund (IB) offering voluntary service in Germany and abroad.

Attendees can expect to learn about various opportunities such as travel and work stays, au pair years, language trips, and internships. The fair will also provide an overview of "official" services such as the Federal Voluntary Social Year (FSJ), federal voluntary services, and voluntary services abroad. Stadt Wuppertal and the Bundesamt für Familie und zivilgesellschaftliche Aufgaben will also be present, offering the Federal Voluntary Service.

For those looking to participate in au pair programs, it is recommended to check for certified au pair agencies and recognised internship platforms recommended by German federal or state youth services. Similarly, for language travel and internships, it's advisable to look for programs affiliated with international voluntary services such as the European Voluntary Service (EVS) or recognised language travel agencies with accreditations.

The fair will address questions about application deadlines and how to spot unreliable providers. The staff at the BiZ can be contacted by phone at 0202 / 2828 - 460 for event-related questions. The fair will take place from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
