UPWARD Berlin is designed for students, graduates and young professionals with up to five years of work experience. The event is your ideal platform to build connections, scout the job market or find your next job in Berlin and surrounding area.

Yes! You can easily grab your free ticket for the job fair via our website. It’s all-inclusive: entry, professional application photos & CV checks, inspiring talks on stage and much more.

No, you can totally visit UPWARD spontaneously without any fixed appointments. However, it’s worth booking slots with your top companies in advance to avoid waiting times during your visit. That way, you can just relax and look forward to the personal exchange! Good to know: These appointments aren’t formal job interviews, but relaxed introductory chats.

The information you provide during registration is essential for us to create a personalized and effective experience at UPWARD. A complete profile helps companies get to know you better and reach out to you with the right opportunities. Your details are printed directly onto your name badge, which you’ll receive at check-in. By scanning the QR code on your badge, employers can quickly access your profile and learn more about your background. It’s the easiest way to get discovered and grow your network. Good to know: You can even be found and contacted by top companies before the event even starts!

No, only people with a valid ticket can attend the job fair. However, you’re more than welcome to bring friends along who are students, graduates, or young professionals with up to five years of work experience. Since tickets are free, just make sure they sign up! Also, don’t forget to check out our "Bring a friend" promo!

You are welcome to invite your friends who are either students, graduates or young professionals with up to five years of professional experience. In order to participate in the campaign, the invited person must also attend the event.

Many participating companies publish their current openings in their profiles ahead of time, so you can check for a good match in advance. Even if there isn’t a specific job description that fits perfectly, feel free to stop by the booth for a casual chat about career opportunities. Our tip: Take the chance to book a personal meeting to discuss a specific position you saw online!

Since you’ve already gained significant professional experience, you no longer fall into the Young Professional category for this specific event.

Make the most of your UPWARD profile: Use the Employer Check to find companies that match your interests. Request fixed appointments at the job fair in advance and check out entry-level positions, company culture, and benefits of the participating employers. Companies can also contact you directly, so make sure to check your profile inbox regularly! Once the schedule is live, you can also bookmark the stage talks you don't want to miss. Keep an eye on our website for new highlights – it’s definitely worth a look!

Unfortunately not. UPWARD Berlin specifically focuses on students, graduates, and young professionals with an academic background. The job offers from our partners at the job fair are tailored accordingly. This is by no means a valuation of other degrees – we’ve simply chosen a very specific focus for this event to guarantee the best possible matching. We appreciate your understanding!
