Zwickau Skills Fair Well-Attended - Zwickau’s Job Fair Bridges Local Employers and Skilled Talent in 2025

The eighth annual Zwickauer Fachkräftebörse took place on December 27, 2025, at Zwickau’s Rathaus. Organised by the city’s economic development office and regional alliance, the event ran from 9 AM to 1 PM. Its goal was simple: bring together local companies and skilled workers under one roof.

More than 500 visitors attended the fair, including career starters, experienced professionals, and those looking for a change. Many were returnees, exploring fresh opportunities in their hometown. The event catered to a broad audience, offering connections for all levels of experience.

Michael Mohr, managing director of GfI Gesellschaft für Ingenieurdienste mbH, took part in around 25 conversations. From these, he identified twelve promising candidates for potential jobs near me. He later described the fair as a success and confirmed plans to attend again next year. The job fair has become a key event for the region’s economy. By directly linking businesses with job seekers, it aims to boost local employment and support growth.

The fair wrapped up with positive feedback from participants like Mohr. Companies left with new contacts, while job seekers explored concrete opportunities. Organisers will now prepare for the next edition, building on this year’s turnout and connections.
