Career & Connect 2026 takes place on 12 February 2026 at the Promenaden Galerien in Linz and structures the day for schools in the morning and students and career changers in the afternoon. ## Practical information for Career & Connect 2026 in Linz The event runs on 12 February 2026 at the Promenaden Galerien. The format separates a morning session focused on school classes and vocational orientation from an afternoon session aimed at students, career changers and active jobseekers. The festival provides bus shuttles for school visits according to the program. Official figures indicate about 1,200 visitors, participation from over 30 companies and a lineup of speakers throughout the day. ## Program highlights on the day The agenda mixes mainstage talks, hands-on workshops and free candidate services.

From 09:30 to 14:00 the program centers on pupils exploring apprenticeships and vocational paths. From 16:00 to 19:00 the focus shifts to tertiary students, professionals changing careers and active candidates. Exhibitors range from training institutions to companies with active hiring needs, which enables short selection conversations and the identification of concrete vacancies on site. ## Commercial outreach tactics for recruiters and employers For talent acquisition teams the event requires a concise outreach plan. Prepare clear job briefs, selection process summaries and direct contact points. Deliver a 90-second value pitch at the stand and capture candidate details reliably. For the school sessions plan demonstrations of study and apprenticeship pathways. In the afternoon schedule short screening interviews and reserve slots for follow-up meetings after the festival. ## Final note and official link Career & Connect 2026 compresses orientation, employer interaction and practical training into a single day that can speed up selection and education choices.
